This was very good. I had 14.6 oz. of rotini & I was short 3 oz. of evap. milk (& forgot to add 2% milk to make up the difference) but all in all it was very good. I crushed some butter & garlic flavored croutons & sprinkled them over the top before baking - & only baked x45 min. We had enough to share w/2 neighbors & they gave this dish a thumbs up as well.

My family really enjoyed this dish at our Thanksgiving lunch today. Only change I made was I just used one stick of butter instead of two.

Was gonna make this in two baking dishes, keeping one for us & the other for a neighbor couple who loves mac & cheese! However, they ended up with company so I took all of it over to them (well, almost all of it) & they were very pleased with it! The recipe for this very tasty dish is very much a keeper!
