Cheesy Toss Up Pasta
Looking for a Fulfilling and Delicious Pasta Dish? Then this easy to prepare, Cheesy Toss Up Pasta, with Steak or Chicken, is the perfect one to try.
Ever have those days, when you can’t decide if you want a mac and cheese dish, or something more substantial in the form of a steak or chicken dish? I have those some days, and this is one particular Pasta meal, that I enjoy throwing together. This kind of meal dates back to my early childhood days, when my eldest sister, Nazia ?, would whip us up some exciting dishes, especially for us younger siblings. With time I have chopped and changed ingredients, but the basic idea all still boils down to those foodie memories.
This post has been long overdue, and once again, these pics have been screaming for my attention for a while now. My Cheesy Toss-Up Pasta with Steak and Chicken, is almost a cross between a few posts I have already shared on this Blog before. I have incorporated ideas from my Mac and Cheese Post + My Versatile Saucy Steak Post + the Cheese Sauce either from the mentioned Mac and Cheese OR Thick Cheese Sauce Recipe here .
With it being Summer holidays here for school going kids, and soon for working class adults, There is sure to be a buzz of activities in most homes. This Cheesy Toss-Up Pasta is a perfect meal to prepare for your kids, and adults alike. I remember recently making this cheesy toss-up pasta for my nephews, who visited me with their parents, and since I don’t have any kids of my own, I sometimes struggle with coming up with dishes that would also satisfy my little guests. But a cheesy pasta is one dish I know kids LOVE. And this particular Cheesy Toss Up Pasta, was given the thumbs up once again by my adorable nephews Nasri and Ahmad. Now you can either make this with steak or chicken, I have added mushrooms and peppers for more added flavour and substance, but if you have terribly fussy eaters, these may be omitted.
So let me show you how I make this, So you too can whip up this creamy cheesy toss-up pasta for your family this holiday season.
Happy Cooking Lovelies

NOTES BY FOODEVA MARSAY
- FOR A CREAMIER END RESULT, MAKE UP YOUR CHEESE SAUCE WITH FRESH CREAM OR HALF MILK AND HALF FRESH CREAM
- FOR ADDED SPICY FLAVOUR, YOU CAN SPRINKLE OVER SRIRACHA SAUCE OR ANY OTHER CHILLI SAUCE VARIETIES.
- THIS RECIPE WORKS JUST AS FINE IF YOU DO NOT PREFER A CHEESE SAUCE, BUT INSTEAD USE A REGULAR WHITE SAUCE/BÉCHAMEL SAUCE
