Goat Cheese Rigatoni Alfredo | Magnolia Days

Happy Birthday Sunday Supper! One year ago my friend Isabel organized the first #SundaySupper event. It was a virtual progressive meal shared with the world. I was thrilled to participate in that first event and the many that followed. It is hard to believe a year has gone by. Sunday Supper has grown incredibly. Today we are celebrating by choosing and making a recipe featured in one of the events. I chose Isabel’s Goat Cheese Rigatoni Alfredo.

Why did I choose Goat Cheese Rigatoni Alfredo? Well, as soon as I saw the recipe it spoke to me. I love cheese. I have not met a cheese I didn’t like. It is hard to pick a favorite although goat cheese is at the top of my list. Last year I made fettuccine alfredo for the first time. Yummy, creamy, and a bit of an indulgence. So take that and double the yummy and creamy by using goat cheese instead of parmesan. Wow. I had to make it. I adapted her recipe ever so slightly. Basically all I did was use an entire 10 ounce log of goat cheese because more cheese works for me. I also added an optional garnish of parsley or pine nuts.

Sunday Supper has added a lot to my life. Because of it, I have connected with wonderful people. Those connections led to friendships which I value dearly. The bloggers in the Sunday Supper Movement are the most supportive and helpful people both personally and professionally. My day is not complete until I check in and see what’s happening with them. One of my greatest highlights last year was meeting Isabel in person. She is a true leader and visionary. Most importantly, she is a good and dear friend.

Join us in our celebration! Visit these blogs and see how each one is celebrating Sunday Supper’s birthday:

    When my daughters are home from university, pasta with Alfredo sauce is always the elder one’s first choice of meal. In fact, it is often her birthday dinner choice as well. I can’t wait to try it next time with goats’ cheese, which we all adore. And I am with you, when it comes to cheese, more is always better!

    Wow Goat Cheese Rigatoni Alfredo sounds exotic. I have to admit I don’t remember when I have tasted last goat cheese, its so unusual where I live right now and where I lived before. It’s an exciting choice and sounds so easy to recreate in the kitchen. Plus it sounds elegant but yet so casual and it looks mouthwatering!

      I had no idea goat cheese would not be available in different parts of the world. I always thought there were goats everywhere. I suppose it depends on the culture and the foods of the country. Hopefully you can get some before long and make this recipe.

    Renee, I could eat anything and everything that you make because you are a goddess in the kitchen. I love that you made a recipe from Isabel, especially since it’s one of my all time favourite meals – pasta in alfredo sauce, yummmm… I agree with you – the more cheese the better! Funnily enough, I’ve never made alfredo sauce at home. It’s time to change that in 2013!

    why yes Renee. I would love a big ol bowl of some that beautiful rigatoni. You are too kind. I bet the goat cheese made it extra special. It’s just gorgeous!

      Thank you Sarah. Yes, the goat cheese really made the alfredo something really special. Nice to have a twist to things occasionally.

    I made this tonight, and my sauce turned out very thin, even though I didn’t alter your recipe at all. It didn’t coat the pasta at all. Was flour supposed to be added at the beginning, before adding the garlic? Most sauces start with a roux.

      The sauce is thin to begin with. It does thicken after it sets for a few minutes and so it does not need flour. Thanks for bringing it to my attention and I will add the information to the recipe.
