"This is one of my go to recipes when I want to make something that is filling and comes together quickly! If you don't like spicy, watch it on the crushed red pepper. I usually turn it into a casserole and use the oven method, but you can make it in the skillet and be eating in no time! Cooking time is based on eating if directly from skillet and not putting in the oven to make it more of a casserole. This is one of my mothers passed down meals."

I made this for supper tonight for our Easy January meals event in the photo forum. It was very tasty , so much flavour and so easy to put together. I thought i had some penne but i didn't so i used fusilli, it worked just fine, i used red and yellow peppers, the cream cheese made it lovely and rich and i opted to put it into a casserole for the oven. Thanks Dissie for tasty easy supper !!
