  1. One change I will make next time is, I won't rinse the pasta. I had some liquid in the bottom at the end of the baking time. An issue might have been, I didn't drain the noodles well enough, but overall it was a tasty dish. :)
     
  2. I really love this Mac and Cheese. The nutmeg, the shrimp and the spinach were great. The feta also gave it a very nice flavor!
     
  3. I loved this dish, it was the best tasting mac and cheese I've had. The shrimp was a delightful surprise!
