Clean-Out-Your-Fridge Creamy Spaghetti

This isn't so much an exact recipe as it is a method. I make this using up leftover bits of vegetables and cheeses from the fridge. It's a little bland as written, but that's because I have a 3 year-old to feed. I usually add extra spices to my serving (garlic, ground black pepper, etc). This makes a quick lunch or side dish.
