2 – Polenghi pasta

- 1 cup of water;
- 2 cheese polenghi;
- 1 tablespoon of cottage cheese;
- 1 teaspoon of butter;
- 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese.
In a dish or mug, place the pasta and water together with the polenghis, it seems strange but it will work!
Add the cream cheese too, adding the grated cheese and butter, mix lightly and then just put it in the microwave for up to 4 minutes.
After four minutes, mix so that the pasta doesn't get super sticky, put it in the microwave for another six minutes.
A tip: place the pot or mug on a deep plate because there is a possibility that your mixture will leak and make a big mess.
