Typically when I cook pasta, it’s one of the MAIN meal ingredients. This dish was a nice change and served as a great side. Plus, it was super easy to make. It had a rich creamy taste that pleasantly surprised me considering there really isn’t that much cheese. I would love to experiment using different herbs to play with the flavor. I definitely plan on making this again.Adapted from Cooking Light
