Serve it hot, it tastes great on its own or serve it along with toasted bread. I would recommend to consume it fresh as it becomes dry when stored or rested for a while.In case if you still want to store cheese pasta keeps well in fridge for 2 days.
I would recommend to keep cooked pasta separately then toss it with cheese sauce while serving if planning to store and serve.
I would not suggest to replace cheese spread as it is one of the main ingredient which makes this dish taste unique. However you can replace it with plain mayonnaise or fresh cream.
White sauce pasta is creamy and the taste is more of milk but cheese pasta has more cheese flavor and taste.
You can use penne, fusilli, macaroni, spaghetti, fettuccine, linguine etc.
