I made this the first time over 12 months ago - I cannot believe I didn't rate it. Anyway, I will do it now, after making it again. This is another way to enjoy your macaroni, it is really different with the carrot and eggs and cheese. Certainly a lot dryer than some recipes but seemed to "grow" in taste some where along the line. A keeper
