Quick Cheesy Pasta (Less than 15 minutes)

Hello everyone!

This is not to compete with Mr Jamie Oliver but I made up a quick recipe which is quite healthy and blooming fast!

OK here is what you will need to serve four people....


Four tablespoon of 0% Greek Yoghurt (You can use double cream if you want? But obviously it's less healthy)
A small bunch of coriander
A ball of Mozzarella (Optional)
Pecorino or Parmesan
A three wedges of Emmental and three wedges of blue cheese by The Laughing Cow (Trust me!) Well yes you can use 50g of any melting cheese of your choice...but these are only 25 calories per triangle
350g of Angel Haired Pasta (or anything else? It may take longer though)

OK now place a bowl over simmering water and put your yoghurt or cream to carry the melting cheese like so....careful not to have heat boiling or water will go everywhere...


 Now stir this it'll only take five minutes to do.....


Now while this sits throw salt into your water....and I used Angel haired pasta as it only takes 3 minutes....


Now keep that starchy water and toss the pasta in with the creamy hot cheesy sauce and toss it....add water to loosen it and serve with the parsley, Pecorino or Parmesan and olive oil....eat fast!

And please take a picture of your efforts and send to @spurs_cook on Twitter! Loving the pictures every time now!

Thanks for reading and see you soon!

This is a great competition too, what they do is give you three ingredients and you have to come up with a dish which shows them off and this will really motivate your cooking too. The winner gets chosen and their recipe may be added into their cook book? This also raises awareness of the charity and helps a good cause... Well this month is Tomatoes, Pork and Sweetcorn....I thought simplicity is key here? So I decided to do something a family can enjoy or one person can do on his or her own?
