Pasta with Cheese Sauce
Pasta with cheese sauce is a classic comfort dish combining cooked pasta with a creamy emulsion typically made from cheese, milk, and butter. This combination provides a rich source of carbohydrates from the pasta alongside high-quality protein and calcium from the cheese, though it can be calorie-dense depending on preparation methods. While often prepared with cheddar or Parmesan, variations may incorporate processed cheeses that alter nutritional profiles, and the dish commonly contains gluten and dairy allergens.
