This creamy pasta entree comes together in a snap. It makes two casseroles, so you can freeze one or share it with friends. —Jasey McBurnett, Rock Springs, Wyoming

Shred and Freeze CheeseIt’s usually cheaper to buy cheese in blocks than in shredded form. So I purchase large quantities of cheddar, Monterey Jack and mozzarella, then shred them myself in my food processor. I store the shredded cheese in the freezer in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags, so I have it at my fingertips whenever it’s needed. —Evelyn O., Parma, Ohio

Everything goes together to make a great comfort food dish. A great cheesy pasta. However, adding more butter or some kind of oil might be beneficial because the cheese kind of hardened and got rubbery after a while.

Pretty good but nothing special

I did not like this recipe, as soon as I added the cheese the sauce fell apart. It was NOT good at all!! I wasted my time on this recipe . My advice is to use less cheese.

This has quickly become a family favorite....it is my 18 year old son's favorite. I use Kraft Italian blend for the mozarella provolone mix since I don't care to grate provolone. I am an accomplished cook and found the prep time to be too little (unless you use multiple pans and buy your mushrooms already sliced). The time is worth it. Save your calories from another meal to eat this!!
