- 3 tablespoon vegan cheddar grated
- pinch paprika more if you like
- pinch salt and pepper
- 2 spring onions finely sliced
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in a large pot with plenty of water until al dente (firm but cooked). Check the packet instructions as a guide.
- Drain the pasta in a colander then cool under running cold water until completely cold.
- In a large bowl, mash the cream cheese to soften it, then add the mayo and grated cheese.
- Add a generous pinch of paprika and season with salt and pepper and mix well.
- Pour the pasta into a large bowl and mix in the cheese sauce. Taste it to check the seasoning.
- Mix in the spring onions, then serve.

Notes
- Cheese pasta salad can be kept in the fridge for 3 days. Store in an airtight container. Give it a stir to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce before serving as the dressing can settle at the bottom of the tub.
- For the best flavour, take the pasta salad out of the fridge for 5-10 minutes to take the chill of it.
