Beetroot Farfalle with Four Cheese Sauce

For this dish we used a ball of our previously made beetroot pasta. We rolled out our pasta dough using the pasta machine and cut circles out. We then carefully pinched the circles in the middle to create little bow shapes (farfalle).

While letting them dry out on a floured tray we started our four cheese sauce. We made a bechemel sauce by warming milk infused with half an onion pierced with a couple of cloves, a pinch of white pepper and a few bay leaves. We made a roux with butter and flour mixed together over a low heat until smooth and the flour is cooked out, before slowly adding the milk. Once smooth we added some crumbled feta, goats cheese, Danish blue and some grated smoked applewood cheese.

We pan fried some thin slices of chorizo, chestnut mushrooms and a few jumbo king prawns. We then cooked the farfalle for about 5-6 mins in salted boiling water.

We served the farfalle with a good helping of the cheese sauce and scattered over the prawns, chorizo and mushrooms.
