Halloumi Pasta with Pink Sauce

Its no secret that I am obsessed with cheese anymore is it? And well pasta to for that matter. Okay, well any carbohydrates to be honest with you. I am just a naughty, naughty gal. I love white and red pasta sauce so I thought hey why not combine the two with some of my other favorite things and this little pasta is what I came up with. This dish is perfect alongside a crisp green salad and some crunchy bread.
