How to make Butter Parmesan Pasta:

That's it! Now it's just time to serve and enjoy!

Can you use frozen veggies? If so would you put them in frozen or already cooked or thawed?
You sure can. Put them in frozen. That is totally ok!
Just curious, have you ever used grated cheddar rather than Parmesan?
I haven't tried that yet but I think it would good!
