Description

This is a creamy & cheesy pasta recipe, that is just so delicious you would not want to stop eating.

I have used Farfalle you can opt for Penne as well.

I have used a mix of Cheddar & mozzarella along with full-fat milk. 

If you are a vegan, you can use Vegan butter, unsweetened oat milk/ almond milk, dairy-free cheddar & dairy-free mozzarella cheese.

This makes for an excellent mid-week dinner or Sunday brunch recipe.

Instructions
