Ingredients:
1 cup of your favorite pasta (spaghetti, penne, etc.)
1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
2 tablespoons of butter
1/4 cup of heavy cream or milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: herbs (parsley, basil, or thyme) for garnish
Optional: 1/2 cup of cooked chicken or vegetables for added texture
Instructions:
Boil the Pasta: Start by boiling a pot of water. Add a pinch of salt, then cook your pasta according to the package instructions until it’s al dente. This should take about 8-10 minutes depending on the type of pasta you choose.
Prepare the Comfort Sauce: While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the heavy cream or milk and stir it gently. Let it simmer for a minute or two until it’s heated through.
Add the Cheese: Gradually add in the shredded cheese, stirring constantly to ensure it melts smoothly into the cream. Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting for seasoning as you go.
Combine Pasta and Sauce: Once your pasta is cooked, drain it and return it to the pot. Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta and toss everything together, ensuring the pasta is generously coated with the creamy, cheesy sauce.
