a) Once the pasta has cooked, drain it in a colander and pop back into the pan. 

b) Add the creme fraiche, veg stock paste, two thirds of the Cheddar and two thirds of the hard Italian style cheese to the pan. Season with pepper and mix to combine.

c) Pour the cheesy pasta into a suitably sized ovenproof dish and top with the remaining Cheddar and hard Italian style cheese.

d) Pop under your grill until the top is golden brown, 3-5 mins.
