Asiago

Broccoli would be just as good in this pasta with recipe, as would diced winter squash such as butternut or acorn.

A mandoline, V-slicer, or other flat slicer-type tool with a sharp blade makes easy work of slicing the celery stalks thinly.

This cheese course is one I frequently serve to guests at home, and every time it's enthusiastically received. Asiago is a little softer than aged Parm, with a nutty, sweet flavor that is gorgeous with glazed onions. I also find it's a fantastico red wine cheese, and goes quite nicely with a dessert Sauternes.
