Notes
- You need 1 cup of cheese for this dish. It can truly be any combination of cheese that you like. It is also a great way to use up small amounts of cheese you might have. Or a great way to play around with combinations of cheeses.
- How to reheat: If you have time to reheat your cheese pasta in the oven, that is a great method! Simply add a little milk (start with a tablespoon, and go up from there depending on how much cheese pasta you’re reheating!), and stir thoroughly before covering an oven-safe dish and placing in the oven at 350°F. You’ll need 10-20 minutes of reheating time, depending on how much pasta you’re reheating.
