Kelly, I hope you ended up getting to sleep last night. Thankfully Cooper slept until past 5.00 am again. That's the third night in a row. Fingers crossed it continues and he's back to normal.

Here's the recipe you're after.

Cheesy stars

60 g (2/3 cup) small, star-shaped pasta
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon grated cheese
1 tablespoon milk
chopped parsley

Prep time: 5 mins
Cooking time: 10 mins
Makes 1 serve

Cook the pasta in boiling water for about 8-9 minutes, or until tender.

Drain, return the pasta to the saucepan, the add the butter, cheese and milk. Mix well and stir over low heat for 1 minute, or until the butter and cheese have melted. Stir in a little parsley. If necessary, mash to serve.

Variation: You could substitute the star-shaped pasta for any number of other small pasta shapes. Use larger spirals and bow-shaped pasta for babies as they show more interest in finger foods.
