Sorry probably a bit late now but phili & milk make a really quick cheese sauce, add to cooked pasta, season and then just top with a hexb portion of breadcrumbs to stick under the grill to crunch up. Possibly a bit of grated cheddar if you have the hex or syn allowance left. I add lean smoked bacon to mine sometimes
