It is very tasty!!!! I didn`t have Italian Cheese blend so I have used Mozzarella and Med Cheeder blend.

This made a huge 9x13 casserole, fed three men, four women and two children. This was a definate crowd pleaser!

Everyone in my family loves this dish! I spend a Sunday afternoon on it. I double the recipe, make homemade pesto, homemade alfredo sauce and use fresh chopped tomatoes. We have one for dinner that night and three in the freezer! You have to space them out though, because it is loaded with calories and fat.

Made today and it tastes great. However, I have a problem with the amount indicated as two 8-inch square pans. My recipe filled one 9 X 12-inch pan PLUS two 8-inch square pans. I froze the square pans and baked the other. More to share, yummy.

I would definitely make this again! I love how it makes 2 - one for now, one for later. Tastes especially good with garlic bread.

I can see why this was rated so highly...it is excellent! However, it probably isn't one dish I will make too often, just for special occasions. Thanks for the recipe though.

This was delicious!! I used rotisserie chicken to make it a little easier. I also used Light Alfredo sauce and thought it was still very creamy. I will definitely make this again!

I made this dish for a group of 60, and I got rave reviews! It did require some time, and I had help, but I will definitely make this again for my family soon.

While time consuming, this was so worth it. I used homemade Alfredo sauce and home made pesto. I made this just as stated, except I added maybe 1tsp or so of fresh ground black pepper. This is definitely a company-worthy dish. I so admire people who dream up recipes like this! This is outstanding!!!! WOW!!
