I love cheese! If you adore cheese as much as I do, I’m sure you’d like this easy cheddar pasta dish which is quick to make and just tastes so wonderfully rich and cheesy. I was just being greedy because 250g of grated cheddar is really A LOT for a 2 persons’ serving but I chose to dump all into the pot to make it really saucy. You’d need extra bread to clean up those gooey lovely cheese sauce on your plate!

How easy can this be? Anything goes with cheese, really. I cooked the same for lunch the next day using penne, chicken, leeks and onions and it turned out great too.
Two cheesy meals in a row, I could properly collapse from a heart attack, lol. So make this a once in a while indulgence for the sake of health! Whatever you like that goes well with cheese, just experiment with your favourite ingredients to create different variations. Bon appetit!
