  1. Great easy supper. I used the reduced calorie cream of celery soup, real mushrooms (that I sauteed) and the tri-colored macaroni. It was very colorful. The only thing I would omit the next time is the parsley. I do not like the taste of it, so that is a personal preference. Thanks, for a recipe for comfort food without the guilt!

  2. I couldn't find chunky tomato sauce so used regular and also used full-fat cheese. Otherwise, I followed the recipe, using whole wheat macaroni and twice the amount of mushrooms (I love mushrooms). I cooked the pasta, drained it & then used the same pot to cook the sauce. (A one pot dish! Yay!) Thanks for the recipe ladypit!

  5. Very good and easy!! Also a money-saver! I followed the directions exactly, but added a pound of browned ground beef (dh can't eat without having meat lol) and added a can of petite diced tomato and a bit of garlic salt. Just perfect! Everyone loved it! Thanks for a great keeper!
