I combined a few recipes I found to create this. Here it is because I thought the outcome was good. Excellent, quick side dish with a hint of heat.

I’ve made this a few times and it’s always a hit. I do add more cheese than it calls for and omit the salt.
I skipped green onions, added 1tsp basil, milk and butter instead of heavy cream, added addl 1/2tsp parmasan….perfection!
My wife and I love this recipe! I use a little more heavy cream than the recipe called for and left out the green onions. She asks for this often.
Absolutely delicious! I definitely will make this again, and perhaps add peas. So good that we didn’t even mind the high calorie count.
Really easy recipe..really good. I used buitoni pasta and it was delicious. The pic is of the leftovers
I doubled the sauce because we like a lot of sauce on our noodles. Family thought it was delcious. I liked the fact that this was cooked in less than half an hour. Son wants this once a week.
