Simple and easy to make, I used regular noodles for this and the best part is you can substitute any shape pasta you want in (wonderful for picky toddlers like mine) I also did not measure the cheese for the same reason the previous reviewer stated ( there is never too much mozz cheese :) ) My family of picky eaters is a huge fan of this simple delicious meal. -
So simple and easy to throw together. Used regular pasta (instead of whole wheat) and didn't measure the cheese -- just threw in to our liking (house motto is there is no such thing as too much cheese!).
