A few hints make cooking with Wisconsin cheese an easy and tasty success: Use low heat, just enough to melt the cheese and blend it with other ingredients. High heat makes natural cheese tough and stringy. Avoid long cooking, which also makes cheese tough and stringy; cook just enough to melt. To promote even melting, slice, shred, grate, cube or dice cheese before adding as an ingredient.
Cut Gruyere, Gouda and Mozzarella into julienne (match stick size) strips and set aside.
Cook pasta according to package instruction, or until al dente. Drain pasta, place into serving bowl containing butter or cream and toss well. Add cheeses and quickly toss.
Sprinkle top with half of the grated Parmesan cheese; serve remainder on the side.
