Great, quick dish. Had most ingredients on hand. Didn't have mozzarella so I replaced with grated sharp cheddar. Tasted fine - will definitely prepare again. I also added chopped garlic to perk it up...

Oh my goodness this was delicious. I added some garlic and meat for extra flavor! -

This was a yummy dish. I used a spaghetti sauce w/ meat to make it more filling. I followed other reviewers suggestions & added extra garlic. Yummy, creamy & quick.
