The cheeses – use your favorites! Our personal favorites are the cheddar and gruyere used in this recipe, but you can be very creative with the cheese selection here. The pairing of both Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese in this Healthy Alfredo Sauce add a depth of flavor while complimented by garlic, basil, parsley and red pepper flakes - no bland fettuccine here! I would never give you bland! What kind of cheese goes in mac and cheese? However, if you combine it with some sharp white cheddar beware: This stuff is better than anything you’ve ever had. Smoked gouda on it’s own isn’t very creamy and has a very strong flavor, so I don’t think it makes a good mac &, cheese on its own. Made from skim cow’s milk, Parmesan cheese is a dry, hard, Italian cheese. Also made from cow’s milk, Monterey Jack is a semi-hard cheese. Named after a village in Switzerland, gruyere is a semi-hard cheese made from cow’s milk.
