Very tasty!I've made this a couple times adding something different every time, and each time it turns out great. Everyone loves it and it becomes dinner for a couple of days. Unfortunately, I've never been able to find the radiatore (nugget) pasta, but oh well it is still delicious!

I have made this recipe a couple of times for my fiance. He says it is his favorite and asked for it specifically. He says it tastes like something you would get at an Italian restaurant and tells everyone about it. Very good recipe!

This was pretty good. It's a little on the dry side, so I would add a little bit more milk or pesto. Also, I couldn't find the radiatore pasta so I used trottole (which is now my new favorite pasta).

Another family favorite! My personal opinion is that this tastes like something you would get in a nice Italian restaurant. Loved it!!

My children ate this without complaining and that is something that just does not happen. I changed the recipe and added broccoli, fresh red peppers, cooked my own chicken and it was good. We will definitely be making it again.

I made this recipe as written, except our supermarket doesn't stock radditore, so I used another similar pasta. We liked it, but found it to be a bit salty. I usually cook from scratch and do not use a lot of salt, so I suspect using all store bought ingredients made the dish taste extra salty to us. I would substitute mozzarella on top instead of Parmesan to compensate a little, for that. It was easy, though, and very creamy. I especially loved the texture and mouth feel of the casserole. A very tasty dish.

I am so glad I read these reviews before I make these recipes. Some of the ideas you guys give are so awesome. I will continue to check out the reviews before making each recipe and then I will give my own review. I think I am gonna like this one a lot. I too like left overs and have a sealing machine, it so easy to keep lots of choices on hand. Thanx guys.
