I just put this in the oven, and I wish I would have read the comments beforehand. I thought 1.5 lbs of pasta looked like too much, but now I’m sure that I just spent a lot of time and effort to not get a good result. It would be great if you would revise this recipe. If you never use 1.5 lbs of pasta in it, why would you list that? I also couldn’t get the cheese sauce to thicken without adding much more cheese. Not sure if this is due to the kind of milk you use. I use whole milk.

This is insanely delicious!! I kept it very simple. I ommitted the peppers, onions, and bacon (on a tight grocery budget this week). In the cheese sauce I added red pepper flakes, salt, onion powder, and a tiny dash of Cayenne pepper. This gave it a lovely kick! I also used shredded boiled chicken breast. And in my opinion, the dish really didn’t need bacon, I think it would have masked the flavor of the cheese sauce. I broiled the last few minutes in the oven to give the top layer of cheese a slight crunchiness. I will definitely be making this again!!

Cylina – I used 1 pound, but it depends on the type of pasta you use. Start with about 3/4 pound.

This was very good. I actually was hoping for more flavor than what I tasted. My girls cleaned their plates as did my hubby and I. Hubby suggested throwing tomatoes in as well. I may try that next time. Thanks for a kid friendly yummy recipe.

It was yummy. Way too much pasta though. I only cooked 1 lb of pasta. I put it in a 13×9 pan and had at least 1/3 of the pasta left over (unused) and the pan was full. Perhaps you meant 1/2 lb. pasta rather than 1 and 1/2 lbs. (someone in the reviews section mentioned this). It is unclear in the recipe.

This is the second time I’ve made this and RAVE about it to everyone. Seriously—my office knows this recipe because of how often I’ve talked about it. It’s FANTASTIC. Perfect mac & cheese. Thanks for sharing!

This is delicious! My family loved it–what a treat!

One thing though: I thought the recipe said to use one and a half pounds of pasta. (I couldn’t tell…) But, I think it just is to use one half pound of pasta. I am glad I didn’t add all the pasta I cooked!
