Print Recipe

Servings: 8

Ingredients

1 (16-ounce) box gemelli pasta (substitutes include penne)

4 cups water

2½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded, divided

½ cup Pecorino Romano cheese, grated

1 tablespoon corn starch

1 (5-ounce) can evaporated milk

1 (24-ounce) jar pasta sauce

2 teaspoons cracked black pepper

Directions

In large pot, combine pasta and water. Cook over medium-high heat 20–22 minutes, or until pasta is done, stirring occasionally.
In bowl, combine 2 cups cheddar cheese, Pecorino Romano cheese and corn starch.
Reduce heat to medium; stir milk, cheese mixture and sauce together with cooked pasta (do not drain pasta; the starchy pasta water helps create an extra-rich sauce). Cook 5–7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and mixture is thickened, stirring frequently.
Sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese and pepper; serve immediately.
