This is a great, one-pan, meatless meal. I used cavatappi pasta and fresh garlic. I also added freshly-ground nutmeg and some roasted red pepper (my palate likes a lot of spice, so for me it was a tad bland without), and baked it for 30 minutes. I used nonfat sour cream, and smaller amounts of the various cheeses (an 8-oz package neufchatel cream cheese, 3 oz reduced-fat swiss cheese, and 1 oz freshly-grated hard parmesan). Nevertheless, the taste was rich and flavorful, one I'll prepare again. Thanks for posting!

Added cooked, diced chicken to this and made it a main dish...excellent. Had to cook it a little longer than specified, 30 minutes. BF requested the leftovers for dinner tonight!!

Wowie kazowie! We all loved this. Didn't have campanelle or garlic powder, so I used shells and fresh garlic. Dang, they were duking it out over the leftovers the next day!
