Can cheese spice be used in pasta or mac and cheese?

How should you store cheese spice?

What is Cheese Spice?
Cheese spice is an aromatic seasoning blend made to add savoury flavour to cheese; its ingredients can vary from one blend to another. It can be sprinkled over fresh or firm cheeses, mixed into a cheese spread, or used to season sandwiches and savoury bakes. Serve it at the table so people can adjust the amount to their taste.
Its bold, savoury character works especially well with mild cheese, while a little can bring more lift to a simple snack. The blend provides 13 g of fibre per 100 g, though it is usually used in small amounts and is mainly valued for flavour. If your cheese is already salty, start with just a pinch; it also pairs nicely with tomatoes, bread and a drizzle of olive oil.
