The problem you have when you think of a cheesy pasta bake is the amount of fat and calories, that is why most people tend to steer clear and make the healthier choices of a tomato based sauce. I have done a little experimenting and have come up with a tasty four cheese pasta bake that I have made healthier, and it takes very little effort to make too.
