The Cheesecake Factory four-cheese pasta, as the name suggests, is a pasta recipe with four types of cheese. You have ricotta, mozzarella, ovoline, and parmesan cheese in the mix. This pasta is what’s called a cheese lover’s delight. The pasta also uses marinara sauce that gives it the roasted-tomato-and-garlic taste (somewhere in Italy, a chef is smiling).

This pasta is also baked so you get all kinds of gooey, melted cheese. There is also an egg and fresh basil in the pasta to give richness and a fresh herby taste. You just need half an hour to make this pasta and a mixing bowl or two. I never thought the delicious four-cheese pasta would be this easy to recreate, but here we are.

After the pasta is baked, it is topped with some more ricotta, mozzarella pearls, and parmesan. So, there’s not even a nook of the pasta that is cheese-deprived (*chef’s kiss but in Italian*). In this recipe, I’ll tell you about the time you need, the ingredients and equipment you’ll need, and of course the steps of the recipe.

Steps To Make Cheesecake Factory Four Cheese Pasta

1. Penne Al Dente

Fill a pot with water and add a pinch of salt to it. Bring to a boil and then cook the pasta in it al dente. Then, drain the pasta using a colander and keep it aside. Make the cheese mixture quickly so as to mix it while the pasta is still hot. 

2. Cheese Mixture Marinara

Take a mixing bowl and add ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and egg to it. Also, add black pepper and basil to it and mix well. While it’s still hot, add the pasta to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warmed marinara and the cheese mixture into the bowl as well and mix.

3. Dis-Cover Baking

Then, transfer this mixture to a glass baking dish. Top with quartered mozzarella ovoline balls and parmesan cheese. Using some aluminum foil, cover the glass baking dish and bake it for about 25 minutes. Remove the cover after that and bake the pasta uncovered for 5 more minutes.

4. Some More Cheese? Why Not!

Take your baking dish out of the oven and serve the Pasta Da Vinci. Garnish the pasta with some ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, and chopped basil. Your delicious four-cheese pasta is ready. Serve it piping hot!
