Tips, food safety & substitutions
Keep the heat low when adding the eggs so the sauce stays smooth and creamy. Food safety: cook until the eggs are fully set and the sauce is hot. Allergens: contains egg, milk (cheese, butter, milk) and wheat (pasta). Substitute: use mozzarella instead of cheddar, or add a little steamed broccoli. Nutrition figures are estimates.
