I love this recipe! I tweak it by grating a half of a wedge of Romano cheese, and I have always used 2 cups of cheddar, but I will try puttin the third cup of cheddar on the top next time I make it. To keep it from being bland, I add 1 tablespoon of salt per quart of water to the pasta water, don't worry it is not too salty. I add more salt to the mixture of ingredients too. I also do a light sprinkling of paprika on top. The Romano gives another level of cheesy flavor ando aroma It has been a hit at every family reunion!
