Ingredients

  • 8 oz dry chickpea shell pasta or pasta of choice
  • 1 cup dairy milk
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Cook pasta as indicated on package directions. (For chickpea pasta, I recommend cooking for 1-2 minutes less than the package suggests.)
  • Strain cooked pasta and rinse with cool water to stop cooking. If desired, drizzle with oil and toss to prevent clumping.
  • Over medium-high heat, combine milk, butter, cheese, salt, and pepper in saucepan. Cook over low heat until melted and integrated, stirring continuously.
  • Add cooked pasta and toss well to coat.
  • Serve and enjoy!
