Laughing Cow Pasta??
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!!

Melt 1-2 wedges with milk or half and half. Pepper jack is surprisingly good. Don't be scared.5

Swiss would be good over egg noodles with a little ham or prosciutto. And maybe some peas or asparagus.8

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.0

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!1

I used to love Swiss on pasta so I really got to try something like this, lol.1

Neufchatel is close in stats, so sometimes I'll use that.4

I didn't know about this. Yay. I love laughing cow so heck yes I'm gonna put it on pasta now.2

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.1

Saute some mushrooms,garlic and lean bacon bits then add hot pasta, melt through 2 extra light laughing cow triangles over the heat and serve immediately. Its delicious!3

I just use the cheddar one, but the blue cheese ones would go well with it too1 -
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...2

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!1

Low cal carbonara i boil 1 noodle nest
In a saucepan add 4tsp of low fat cream cheese, 15g of cheedar grated and a splash of milk, salt, pepper, dired chives and galic powder combine together add in your noodles and either chicken or bacon and its delicious and its about 350 cals depending on your meat1 -
I use laughing cow cheese to make creamed spinach. I also mix it with drained, frozen chopped spinach to stuff inside chicken breasts.1

Forgot about Laughing Cow. Have put over spaghetti squash before. Tasty and low cal!

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.0 -
This is actually a really good idea, going to try it on chicken breast and make an alfredoish sauce since I can never fit pasta lol1

Credit for this goes to someone else - use the laughing cow wedges and sprinkle some nutritional yeast in at the end. It adds lots of cheesy flavor. Start light and weigh it since it does have calories and can be strong tasting. If you use it on the shirataki soy noodles it's really low cal1

I've never tried laughing cow on pasta. I'll have to test that out sometimes. I usually buy the knock-off Laughing Cow wedges from Aldi though.
I do use them in baked potatoes though. Delicious.1 -
Barf. Sorry, I could not imagine ruining perfectly good pasta with the grossest substance known to ... self...
I'd much rather make real mac and cheese.0 -
Not that different from classic cacio e pepe. In it's purest form just finely grated pecorino, toasted black pepper and starchy pasta water, so less calorific than a lot of pasta with cheese sauce recipes. Technically trickier than melting laughing cow though, as cacio e pepe tends to split if the ingredients are not all at the right temperature.

It’s great with spaghetti squash when you sometimes need sheer volume!0

Yes I do that all the time add some veg or chicken stock and add the cheese triangles I use 2 cheese triangles they are 36kcals each and they melt down and make a lovely sauce.0
