Baked Creamy Pasta

 Even though I love italian food, I rarely make it a lot as Tanmaya is not into pasta so much. But I have this beautiful friend Jo who gets pasta for lunch often and makes beautifully.
I got inspired and thought why not make some nice creamy pasta and give Tanmaya a taste of Italian food  and may be he would fall in love with it.


I was right!!!!

  1. Pasta: 2 cups cooked
  2. Butter:50g
  3. Mushroom: 1 cup chopped

  8. Cheddar Cheese: grated 1/2 cup
  9. Salt: as per taste
