Tips

  • Stir at least once about half way through to keep the pasta from sticking to the skillet.
  • This last part is optional, but I like to do another half cup of cheese over the top and then pop it in the oven for just a couple minutes to get that melted and then it’s time to eat.
  • Just make sure you hit it with some dried parsley before you plate it up so the kids have something to talk about at the dinner table and you can serve it with whatever sides you want, but a slice of butter bread and some canned green beans are hard to beat.
