2. Turn heat on HIGH until boil and then lower heat to simmer for 12 minutes. Keep an eye when bringing to boil, as the pot can easily boil over.

3. After simmering for 12 minutes, mix in 1/2 cup of tomato sauce and cover for 5 additional minutes.

4. Finally transfer everything from the saucepan into a bowl and add 1/4 cup of grated cheese. Mix together while it’s still hot so the cheese melds. This recipe is so easy to make, try adding additional ingredients to suit your taste buds. Enjoy!
