Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

325 g (~ 11 1/2 oz) dried pasta
1 bell pepper, (sliced or diced (I used orange))
~ 5 medium mushrooms, (sliced)
130 g (~ 3/4 cup) frozen peas
125 g (~ 3/4 cup) frozen sweetcorn
700 ml (~ 3 scant cups) milk
400 ml (~ 2 scant cups) vegetable stock
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
150 g cheddar cheese, (grated (~ 1 1/2 cups when grated))
Salt
Black pepper
Fresh chives, (to serve (optional))

Steps:

  • Add the pasta to a large saucepan, along with the vegetables, milk, veggie stock, and dried herbs. Mix well to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for around 15 minutes, until the pasta is cooked and the sauce has thickened. You'll need to stir regularly, especially when the pasta is nearly cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Remove from the heat, and add the grated cheese and plenty of salt and pepper. Mix well until the cheese has melted to produce a thick, glossy sauce. Serve topped with fresh chives, if desired.
