Description

A creamy and cheesy one-pan pasta dish featuring white cheddar and mozzarella, baked to perfection with garlic and butter for a rich, satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pasta (penne, rotini, or similar)
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  2. Add pasta, milk, white cheddar, and mozzarella cheese. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Transfer skillet to a preheated oven (375°F/190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until pasta is cooked through and cheese is melted and bubbly. Stir halfway through baking.
  5. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Feel free to use any pasta shape you prefer, but a sturdy one like penne or rotini works best for this dish.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding herbs such as basil or thyme.
  • If you like a crispy top, bake for a few extra minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
