Penne with Four Cheeses

Pasta with cheese has a universal appeal and here the pleasure is increased fourfold. I particularly like how these cheeses balance each other. The pronounced flavor of gorgonzola, the richness of fontina, the savoriness of Parmigiano-Reggiano, and the delicate creaminess of mascarpone complement each other perfectly. Use the creamy gorgonzola dolce, not the dry, aged kind.
