CHEDDAR CHEESE VEGETABLE PASTA

I love Pasta and not just because there are so many varieties to choose from but because I can cook it with so many accompaniments. in case you did not know, Pasta has different varieties, we have Long Pasta, Ribbon-cut Pasta, Short-cut extruded Pasta, Decorative cuts Pasta, Miniature Pasta, Pasta with filling, and Irregular and unusual Pasta. There is even Banana Pasta, its prepared from green bananas that are dried then milled into banana flour. Since banana as the primary ingredient, it is gluten free. Now that, I would like to see for myself. Do not even get me started on the types of Cheese that we have. That list will be given at a much later date. Anyhow, to be honest the only cheese I have ever eaten is the one that usually tops up Pizza. I wanted to try this Cheese on something so my love of Pasta plus my curiosity of Cheese brought about this Cheesy recipe. The Pasta turned out creamy and quite heavy so I really did not need to have a side dish for this. I'm loving the Crushed Ginger and Garlic Mix in my food so i added the two. This gives the meal that much needed spicy and somewhat hot kick, plus the fragrance Ginger and Garlic give to the dish is just divine. You can totally skip them if you want but I strongly suggest you add them! Pasta in Cheese, I give it a thumbs up. Try it out and let me know. What other Cheese have you used in Pasta?
