Notes
You could also use cheddar cheese for a more cheesy pasta sauce. Add chili flakes for a touch of heat, or increase the cream for a creamier, milder sauce.
You could make this a one-pot meal by adding the pasta at the same time as the stock. You will need to add more stock and stir the pasta frequently to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
