  1. This was a very easy and somewhat tasty dish. It was very rich like an Alfredo. I did make few changes such as using only 1/2 cup of butter, adding a little garlic, and mozzarella. I think with a bit more sauce, some cubed chicken, and broccoli or peas this would make a very nice casserole. (4)
     
  2. This pasta casserole is very flavorful and rich! I will definitely be making this again, but next time I will only add 1/2 cup butter. I think that will be plenty. I thought the 1 cup of butter made the dish too greasy. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.
     
  3. Oh! This sounds very tasty, almost like a Pastitio without meat. I will be trying this soon, and will rate it then :-) thank you Joanne!
     
  4. This was delicious. Instead of whipping cream, I used half-n-half and added a little chopped onion and garlic powder for a little extra flavor. Thanks for a great dinner. :)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My name is Joanne and I have been married for 49 years to my high school sweetheart, Roman. We live in Louisville, Oh just east of Canton which is home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. We have two grown sons, one recently divorced and the younger son is getting married for the first time in Sept. 07. We have no granchildren which is very disappointing but there is still hope. I found this site in Dec. O5 and I am addicted. I recently took part in the cookbook swap which was fun and now am signed up for Pick A Chef. I love to cook and enjoy serving as hospitality chairman at our church. I plan and prepare all luncheons, banquets, wedding receptions, etc. Many women and men assist me with these affairs. I also love traveling, gardening and visiting the elderly. I enjoy browsing through my collection of Jr. League cookbooks and watching the Food network. Before Christmas each year I bake about 25 varieties of cookies and deliver them to the elderly. A most rewarding experience.
