Fantastic recipe! I'm not a blue cheese fan, but I LOVED this delicious, creamy pasta!

For blue cheese addicts like me, it doesn't get any better! I agree with twissis that the nutrition facts are misleading so re-posted with some low-fat modifications: see Please Don't Feel Blue Macaroni & Cheese.

Very rich & tasty is right! This is some of the best "comfort food" I have tasted in a long time & I found myself searching for the 10* rating again! I made a half recipe just as written except I did add about 1/4 cup extra milk when it appeared the mixture might be too dry when baked & it was PERFECT We were hungry & ate heartily, but even a half recipe made more than 4 generous servings. IMO this generously serves at least 8 & surely is part of the reason the Nutrition Facts are startling. TY for sharing this sensational taste treat w/us.

Very rich and tasty! A great choice for a blue cheese lover like me! The only person in the family who didn't care for it doesn't like blue cheese, everyone else enjoyed it. I cut the recipe in half and baked it in a casserole dish. The leftovers were also good. Thanks!
