This is a recipe I was given a year or two ago, but it was a bit bland originally so I've added my own embellishments.

- Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water until al dente.

- Remove from heat, add desired amount of cheese and stir until melted.
- Drain pasta and return to saucepan. Mix in cheese sauce.
Tip
Different pasta types change the serving amounts. I've found that Penne makes a single batch go the furthest.
