My Favourite Food
I like a lot of different dishes, but my favourite food is pasta with cheese. This food is loved by people of all ages.
Here are the reasons why I love it. Firstly, there are a lot of different types of pasta and dozens of delicious cheeses to choose from. That means you can never get bored of this dish. Secondly, you can add any vegetables you like to the dish. My favourite ones are tomatoes, peppers and broccoli. I also like to experiment with different herbs. Thirdly, it is very simple to cook. All you need is to cook your pasta in abundant boiling water, till al dente, and drain. Then drizzle a little olive oil over the pasta and serve it with grated cheese. If you wish you can make some sauce or add some vegetables.
Finally, pasta is a rich source of quick, but long-lasting energy, which is important for me.
