Method
 

  1. Boil pasta in salted water until tender but slightly firm. Drain and set aside.

  5. Add seasonings and simmer until slightly thick.
  6. Mix pasta and vegetables into the sauce until well coated.
  7. Sprinkle cheese on top and let it melt before serving.

  • Freshly grated cheese gives the best melt and flavor.
  • You can add chicken or mushrooms for variation.
