I had a blast making this recipe! The goal was to create a healthy and light pasta dish... well, it turned out green, healthy, and delicious, but the cheddar inspired me to make a complete 360º change! We were all cooking in the office kitchen—Dani and I shared this recipe, while Elena and Miguel made another 'healthy pasta', but they were tempted by ours too, and Irene was watching and laughing at how the recipe 'mutated'. In the end, it was really tasty!
