Wonderfully cheesey, rich and creamy! I used regular rotini instead of the tri-color. My kids like blue cheese, so I made it just as written, and it was loved by all. The blue cheese flavor is very subtle, so I think most kids would love this. Some broccoli would be nice in here, too. This is fabulous; thanx for posting! I'll be making this again.

Delicious and easy (made this Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, while cooking turkey and lots of other 'stuff')!! I used cheddar cheese instead of the american cheese. I also added broccoli and black olives. The blue cheese added a very nice flavor. Followed recipe exactly except for these minor changes. Turned out excellent. My husband loved it. Will definitely make again. Thanks for a wonderful pasta recipe.
