Favourite Home-made Pasta

1. Chop up some mushrooms and/or bacon, and put them on a frying pan. If using mushrooms, also put in a few large teaspoons of butter.
2. Begin to cook pasta. I prefer penne or conchiglie rigate (the ones that look like shells), so that's what I tend to cook.
3. Whilst the pasta's cooking, start to fry up the mushrooms/bacon.
4. Add seasonings to the frying pan, and mix. I like chili flakes, paprika, chives and parsley.
5. When the pasta's done cooking, add cream to the frying pan, and mix thoroughly.
6. Put the pasta into the frying pan, and mix again.
7. Put that mixture into a bowl, ready to be served.
8. Add grated cheese on the pasta, and mix again.
9. Enjoy!

I sometimes make enough to save some for lunch the next day, too, which just requires some microwaving.

I thought you were talking about making pasta itself (an overrated pastime for me unless you are doing your own ravioli or other stuffed pasta, maybe green and black varieties if you like those. It is certainly nice but dried stuff these days does just fine), not a pasta dish.

In my case I have some fancy efforts but straight cheesy pasta, tuna pasta, leek, or cauliflower and pasta cheesy bake is what I would pick as my go to, maybe with some proper mushroom soup if I am feeling fancy.

I also like mac & cheese - or, more often in my case, penne & cheese since we have quite a few bags of the tubes - with cayenne pepper mixed in, and home-made cheese sauce.

Scrumptious, though having to keep churning the sauce whilst it's cooking does get a tad tiring...

I'd like to add that, if you run out of Cheese or just have bland Cheddar available but still want that cheesy flavour, you can always use Milk and Beef Stock.

The thicker both are, the cheesier the taste, so the best results would be Dehydrated Milk and Stock Cubes which you add to taste.
Normal Milk and Liquid Stock also works well enough, though.

This also works great for Cheese Noodle Broth, alongside Cheese Pasta Sauce.
Cheese is basically salty Milk, so that's the underlying logic.
