This ended up better than I thought! I added some basil, a little Trader Joe's Puttanesca pasta sauce, and chili powder (and lots of parmesan on each serving) and now I can eat it for entire week! You weren't kidding about it lasting for leftovers!!

I did not like this meal what so ever. I thought it was really plain and felt like it was lacking flavor. All I could taste was the macaroni.

Whether you are in no money times, or not, this is a SUPER MEAL TO HAVE! My hubby was so excited to try it, and I have to admit while cooking I ate a little here and there! LOL I did use ground turkey and put in an extra clove of garlic and 1 tsp basil. It was so good. I thank you for this wonderful meal that will come in good use at our home!
