DH and myself really did enjoy enjoy this pasta for dinner. I did add some sun dried tomato to the recipe as I had a little on hand needing to be used, I also added a fraction more chicken stock to compensate for the sun dried, but apart from that everything else was as per the recipe. We loved this recipe, and served with fresh some crusty bread this is an easy, delicious and warming meal for any cold winter's night!

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!
