I wish I could give this recipe 100 stars!! All I can say is OH MY GOODNESS! I followed the recipe with cooking times, spices, etc,but used 14 oz of shrimp instead, elbow macaroni, and 1.5 cups of parm. We also used like 10 cloves of garlic. We had this with some garlic rosemary bread, and my husband had third helpings!! Usually he doesn't eat much of food that's so creamy... but it's absolutely delicious. Thank you thank you THANK YOU for sharing this! It's amazing!

Hi I am a new mom. I have a 10 week old Daughter named Annabelle who is the love of my life right after my husband Darin who is in the USAF. I have no formal training but I was a cook at the officer's club on base for over a year and I learned a lot and loved it. My favorite cookbook is the joy of cooking.
