Fusilli, Ham and Cheddar Cheese






Sometimes a kids dish can be transported into a great dish for more sophisticated palates. Think of it a meeting of the minds or compromise with the rug rats that will satisfy everyone. Pick any pasta - even plain old macaroni noodles. I like Fusilli Bucati - 'bucati' means the noodle is hollow. For cheese - go crazy and use white cheddar, or any other variation. I am biased towards lots of flavor - so the sharper the better. For the mushrooms, the regular white variety works but so does shiitake, etc.
