Notes
- Always grate cheese yourself, as ready shaved or grated cheese in a bag tends to have a coating on it which makes is taste a bit odd and it doesn't melt so well either.
- You can add some peas to the pasta when cooking for an extra green vegetable boost.
- To add some extra protein to this, you can stir in some cooked chickpeas or butterbeans.
- If you like a kick of heat to you meals, then sprinkle some red chilli flakes on top.
