What is Four-Cheese Tomato Sauce?
Four-Cheese Tomato Sauce combines a tomato base with four kinds of cheese for a creamy, savoury sauce. It is commonly associated with Italian-inspired pasta sauces, though the particular cheeses can vary from one product or recipe to another.
Toss it with cooked pasta, spoon it over vegetables, or use it in a baked pasta dish. The tomato brings a little tang, while the cheeses make the sauce richer and fuller in texture. Nutritionally, it provides some protein alongside fat from the cheese; a 100 g portion contains 5.5 g of protein. For a lighter meal, mix it with plain tomato sauce and use just enough to coat the pasta.
