I must be the odd duck here. I was really looking forward to this, but it was the most disgusting thing I have ever made. I would have given it no stars if possible. After 2 bites of this incredibly bland, mushy dish, I quit eating. When I asked my husband what he thought of it, he said, "So what do you think about the nice weather?" I told him he didn't need to eat it because I wasn't. My 10 month old even spit it out.

This was great! I was able to use what I had on hand: mini shell noodles, sun dried tomatoes and a little pepperjack cheese. Not bland at all, it was a huge hit with my family of 5!
