1/2 pound fusilli pasta
1/2 pound sharp cheddar cheese spread, or grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 1/2 ounces buttermilk
1/3 cup pimento peppers, pureed and strained

Directions
Bring salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente. While the pasta is cooking, prepare a large bowl of ice water. Drain the pasta, then shock the pasta in the ice bath, then drain again.
Heat the cheese and buttermilk in a medium pot over medium heat until cheese melts into the buttermilk.
Add the pasta and the pimento puree to the cheese sauce and stir to combine, then cook for a few minutes (stirring occasionally) until the sauce adheres to the pasta and the pasta is hot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
