Another web find — looks yummy!! My husband is not a huge fan of marinara, so I am always on the lookout for something a little different! This looks easy enough to adapt to various types of pasta as well...

I am not going to rate this until I make it right. Even with my mistakes it was tasty, but not quite satisfying enough as an entree. I forgot the cream. Instead of fresh mushrooms (which went bad) I used a combination of rehydrated dried mushrooms and about half a jar of mushrooms in a vinegar solution, which I rinsed to remove some of the acidity. I used a combination of white cheeses. Because I was running out of time, I just mixed everything together and spooned it into a casserole dish. I liked this but would have liked it a bit creamier, which the cream would have provided.

    This was a big hit in my house! My DH raved about it and says that I should definitely keep it on my "make again and again" list. You know how silly I am, though, I completely forgot to add the heavy cream and the salt and pepper but it still had great flavor! Next time, though, I'll be sure to not miss that step. I used Havarti cheese, one of my favorites. Delish!

    Very easy to put together. I will increase the garlic a bit though next time. It was barely detectable. I used Havarti as my cheese of choice and Rotini pasta.
