Extra Cheesy Marinara

Cheese sauce brings a smooth texture to a dish. It also acts to blend everything together in a blanket of flavor. But why stop with one cheese? How about five?!
You’ll be using your favorite marinara sauce, to which you add a cheese blend. If you wish, you can add crushed tomatoes, ground beef, or chicken bites for thickness, too.
It is quite possible you may not have the suggested cheese on hand, but thankfully you have options. For example, if you have no Ricotta, use small curd cottage cheese. For Mozzarella, use Havarti (this is a great melting cheese). Swap Parmesan for Asiago or Pecorino, and Fontina for Gruyere.
Since you have two sauces to begin with, it improves your success rate greatly.
