Frequently Asked Questions About Pearl pasta with Kashar cheese
How do you make pearl pasta with Kashar cheese?
Cook the pearl pasta in salted water until just tender, then drain it. Toss it with a little butter or oil and stir in grated Kashar cheese while the pasta is hot, until the cheese melts. Serve it straight away for the creamiest texture.
What is Kashar cheese in pearl pasta with Kashar cheese?
Kashar is a Turkish semi-hard cheese made from cow’s milk, with a mild, savoury flavour. It melts into the hot pearl pasta, while aged Kashar gives the dish a sharper taste. Grating it helps it melt evenly.
How do you stop pearl pasta with Kashar cheese from turning mushy?
To keep pearl pasta with Kashar cheese from turning mushy, check the pasta before the package’s full cooking time and drain it while it still has a slight bite. Add the cheese after draining rather than cooking it with the pasta from the start.
Can pearl pasta with Kashar cheese be made in one pot?
Yes, pearl pasta with Kashar cheese can be made in one pot by simmering the pasta in a measured amount of water until tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir regularly to prevent sticking, then add grated Kashar off the heat.
Can you bake pearl pasta with Kashar cheese?
Yes, pearl pasta with Kashar cheese can be baked. Cook the pasta until slightly underdone, drain it, and transfer it to an oven-safe dish with grated Kashar on top. Bake until the cheese melts and browns lightly; too long in the oven can dry it out.
What can you use instead of Kashar in pearl pasta with Kashar cheese?
Mozzarella or another mild, meltable semi-hard cheese can replace Kashar in pearl pasta with Kashar cheese. The flavour will differ: mozzarella is milder and more stretchy, while a mature cheddar-style cheese tastes sharper and may make the dish saltier.
What goes well with pearl pasta with Kashar cheese?
A crisp green salad or roasted vegetables pair well with pearl pasta with Kashar cheese because their freshness balances the rich, melted cheese. You can also serve it with plain yogurt or grilled chicken as part of a fuller meal.
How do you reheat pearl pasta with Kashar cheese without drying it out?
Reheat pearl pasta with Kashar cheese gently in a covered pan, adding a small splash of water and stirring until hot. Low heat helps loosen the melted cheese without scorching it. A microwave also works if you heat it in short intervals and stir between them.
Can you add tomato to pearl pasta with Kashar cheese?
Yes, tomato works in pearl pasta with Kashar cheese. Cook chopped tomato or a little tomato sauce briefly before mixing it with the pasta, then add the Kashar. Using too much sauce can make the dish watery and keep the cheese from coating the pasta evenly.
Can pearl pasta with Kashar cheese be eaten cold as a pasta salad?
It can be eaten cold, but pearl pasta with Kashar cheese is usually better warm because the Kashar melts and coats the pasta. For a cold version, chill the cooked pasta first and add a light dressing; the cheese will firm up rather than stay creamy.

What is Pearl pasta with Kashar cheese?
Pearl pasta with Kashar cheese is a simple Turkish-style home dish: small, round pasta is cooked until tender, then mixed with grated Kashar, a mild, semi-hard Turkish cheese that melts readily. Some cooks stir the cheese through in the pan so it coats the pasta, while others add it just before serving.
It is soft, filling and best eaten hot, as an easy lunch or supper; a crisp salad or pickles make a good contrast. The pasta supplies most of the carbohydrates, while the cheese adds dairy protein and richness. For a lighter bowl, use a little less cheese and fold in vegetables such as peas or finely chopped peppers.
