Lazy 4 ingredient pasta!

This pasta is one of my comfort foods! My mother made this for me when I was really young and I loved it so much. I found out how to make it myself and thought others should know about this too. This is very good to make when your in a rush or don’t have much to eat. Till this day it’s one of my favorite pasta. It’s simple yet so delicious.

Ingredients (feeds for one)

•leftover pasta

•2 tablespoons of salted butter

Microwave for 30 seconds (mix butter in the pasta )

•Add mozzarella or Monterrey jack cheese to your liking

•Add Parmesan cheese to your liking

MIX

Microwave for 1 minute

AND ENJOY!!!☺️

... Read moreIf you're a fan of quick meals, this 4-ingredient pasta is perfect for you! Not only does it require minimal preparation time, but it also makes use of leftover pasta, reducing food waste. Start by placing leftover pasta in the microwave with butter. The creamy combination of mozzarella or Monterey jack cheese along with Parmesan brings flavor and richness to the dish. This simple cooking method—mixing and microwaving—ensures that you can enjoy a comforting meal in no time. For flavor variations, consider adding herbs such as basil or parsley for an aromatic touch. You can also incorporate garlic powder or crushed red pepper to enhance the taste. This dish is not only satisfying but versatile as well; feel free to customize it to your palate's liking. Serve it alongside a fresh salad or some roasted veggies for a complete meal experience that your family will love. Enjoy your delicious creation!

This looks so good but I’d would use a different brand of “butter “ because that isn’t actually butter

I love this. I make it all the time. I’ve also done it with fresh chives other times I’ve done it with Italian seasoning or basil and parsley or sometimes I just make it plain like you do and you can never go wrong with cheese or pasta.
