Have you ever fixed something basic for dinner like fish, a vegetable and small salad but it was lacking that well-rounded-meal feeling?
My grandmother had a pasta with cheddar bits side dish that was so easy, and wasn't a heavy macaroni and cheese type thing, but simply cooked egg noodles or even spaghettinia, drained and tossed with tiny bits of sharp cheddar (the sharper the better!). So far, in my 74 years, I have never successfully matched the savory satisfying taste of that, especially as a side dish for white fish.
