    Ok this is really good. With some changes. The amount of pasta is way to little I used about a pound of pasta. The cream cheese needs to be softened before you put it in the pan. It will incorporate much easier. I added extra milk since it was really thick as is. I also - Read more ...

    It was really good!! The sauce came out great. I used fresh mushrooms and skipped the ham so I had to season it more. I added minced garlic and cilantro and I was glad I did--added a little kick.

    I gave this a 4 because it truly does need a lot of revisions--I used a ton more vegetables--a 16 oz package of frozen broccoli cauliflower and carrots a cup of frozen peas a cup of frozen green beans half of a fresh red pepper a can of mushrooms--and a pound of angel hair pasta. - Read more ...

    As it is written this is a bland mess. However the thought behind it is good so I took it a few steps further. I added 2 cloves of minced garlic 6 stalks of asparagus cut in 1 inch lengths a small yellow squash sliced some par boiled baby carrots and a cup of broccoli - Read more ...

    This recipe was bland. The sauce was heavy and as originally submitted way too much for the amount of veggies and pasta.
