I prefer to use real cheddar in this recipe. However most of our cheddar here in Canada is colour with Annatto to give it that orange/yellow colour. My favourite brand is Baldersons Extra Old Cheddar which I get from costco. The size is too small for serving pasta at a dinner party with more than four guests, and the strainer insert can cause a boil-over if you’ve even slightly overfilled the main pot. When dealing with multiple pasta dishes, one usually has to strain the entire pot of water, and then reheat the pot to cook separate pasta dishes,” he explains. “With this insert, you can cook a batch of pasta and pull it out of the water to make room for the next batch of pasta, just like in the restaurants, without losing water.” The elongated shape is fetching and functional, allowing you to keep longer pasta cuts like angel hair and fettuccine intact, but it can hang over even the largest round burner on some cooktops.
