This was so delicious! I think it would be great with ham or chicken as well to make a one dish meal. I had to try and keep the peas on one side (for grandson) and used freshly grated cheese. This will be a repeat at my house! Thanks for sharing!!

Rich, creamy, cheesy and flavor packed all rolled into one! Pure comfort in every mouthful. Went wonderfully with hamburger patties and stewed tomatoes!

Delicious -- I also think this recipe is a very adaptable recipe using whatever pasta, cheese and veggies are on hand. I used elbow macaroni, frozen corn, parmesan and other cheese that was in the fridge. By changing the ingredients slightly there is a whole different taste to this casserole which by the way went over very well at our house. And it also makes a lot which also goes over well. Thanks for sharing!

Truly delicious. We enjoyed this pasta dish very much. Nice flavor and a lovely texture, the sauce coated the pasta beautifully. Served with baked chicken and candied cherry tomatoes for a truly wonderful meal. I was out of peas so I substituted with corn niblets, they were great in the dish. Thanks for sharing. Made FYC tag game.
