Stir in milk and cheese and return to microwave for 1-2 more minutes until smooth and creamy.

Stir in peas and heat a little longer until everything is warmed through.

While pasta is cooking, peel and slice carrots and kiwis.

If needing to pack to go, try sending pasta to school in a thermos with your child in order to keep it warm.

Serve with carrot and kiwi slices on the side.
