I've seen a few posts a while ago, where people were melting Laughing Cow cheese wedges over pasta to make a cheesy pasta sauce. I went grocery shopping yesterday and debated buying the white cheddar wedges to melt over macaroni noodles, but ended up being a chicken and put it back. Has anyone tried it, or have any other ideas for flavor combinations? The only others I found at the store were Swiss and pepper jack, neither of which I can imagine going on pasta. Any ideas are appreciated, friends!!

    So funny this was brought up..just yesterday I was thinking about this! I like Mac and cheese and haven't had it in a while and was trying to think of a less caloric way to make it yet it still taste yummy! I have pepper jack in my fridge. I usually melt it over scrambled eggs and it's good.

    Melt 1-2 wedges with milk or half and half. Pepper jack is surprisingly good. Don't be scared.

    Okay, maybe I should be more optimistic. Maybe served over classic elbows and tossed with breaded, sliced chicken? And some extra peppers and onions? Thoughts?

    Swiss would be good over egg noodles with a little ham or prosciutto. And maybe some peas or asparagus.

    This actually sounds really good! Maybe even sprinkled with crushed crackers or bread crumbs for an added crunch!

    I love my pasta, and have been trying to find ways to eat it "responsibly". :)

    Good ideas! I think I will add shredded zucchini to lessen the amount of pasta. Thanks!

    I have used the white cheddar in grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup. I spray my bread with butter and put it into a George Forman grill with non-stick aluminum foil. Taste delish and has a good comfort old vibe.

    I just use the cheddar one, but the blue cheese ones would go well with it too

    I cook the pasta then toss in whatever I have on hand that I think goes good together. ham tomato parsley cheese olives .... chicken sweetcorn bell pepper mint... salmon shrimps tomato parsley lemon capers... maybe a drizzle of nice oil and some salt n pepper too... just keep the amount of hical down n local up... serve on lettuce or rocket to boost volume...

    I actually really enjoy the spicy pepper jack on top of spaghetti noodles with swedish meatballs! It may sound strange, but it has a really nice flavor in my opinion!

    I use laughing cow cheese to make creamed spinach. I also mix it with drained, frozen chopped spinach to stuff inside chicken breasts.

    I have used it in whole wheat rotini with spinach and cherry tomatoes and a little garlic and red pepper flakes. Really good a not too caloric.
