"I had forgotten about this recipe but ran across it recently on a site where I had posted it years ago. It had several good reviews and so I made it again. lol. I usually have made this as a side dish but had in my notes that I had made it into a main dish by adding some leftover cooked chicken or ham."

This worked out very well for us. I did up the cheese a bit. My can of evaporated milk was only 12 oz so add regular milk and also used more pasta. I never boiled garlic before but they added a lot of flavor to the pasta and cheese. Thanks for sharing!
