My husband and I loved this! I was out of Mozerella, so I substituted cheddar and it still tasted yummy. The only problem I had was in reheating the leftovers. I nuked part of what we had remaining and that dried it out. I then took the rest and heated that in a saucepan with a little V-8 and that helped restore some of the nice creamy texture that made it so wonderful right out of the oven. Maybe the substitution of cheeses was the problem. Nevertheless, I will make this again. We may just have to eat the whole pan the first night!

This has loads of yummy flavor. I threw it together after work, put it in the oven, ran to a t-ball game & came home to a delicious dinner. I don't have any tips other than follow the recipe as written; it works!

This was good, a little salty for us. I think I would use low-sodium beef broth in the future. Other wise a nice easy recipe. I followed the recipe, served with a salad and Italian style grilled chicken. Thanks mailbelle. Made for 1.2.3 Hits

Very good! It was very easy to do and prep time was short. I really liked not having to boil pasta first. This is a keeper!
