Just made this for tonight. Doubled the recipe and froze a batch. I added parsley, dried onions and chopped ham to make it a Main dish. What kid doesn't like Mac N Cheese :)

I USED SMALL CURD COTTAGE CHEESE, THE RECIPE DIDN'T SPECIFY. IT WAS GREAT. I WILL DEFFINATELY BE MAKING THIS, AGAIN.

I did not think the cottage cheese would work in mac n cheese but it really did! Definitely would make again to switch up mac n cheese

Best Macaroni and Cheese EVER! Served it along with a garlic Rotisserie chicken from the deli and fresh steamed broccoli. It was a huge hit with everyone!

Really? Did I miss something? Is the cottage cheese supposed to melt? Because mine didn't and the cheddar seemed to disappear. This was okay, but it was neither the dense baked mac & cheese variety nor the creamier version. And that cottage cheese hanging around in there was a little odd. Won't be making this again.

My husband said this was the best pasta dish I've made! I substituted whole wheat pasta and also some mild cheddar cheese and colby jack cheese, along with the sharp cheddar. Also, I topped it with a light sprinkling of breadcrumbs. It was yummy! I'm definitely keeping this recipe in my box for future dinners!
