I loved this!! Definitely different but in a good way!! -
We enjoyed this Mac with a difference! I love blue cheese, so that was a big appeal, I wondered if I was using enough cheese but actually it had wonderful flavour. I didnt have elbow macaroni so used penne instead. Will definitely make this tasty dish again, thank you iewe, made for ZWT9, Hot Pink Panthers On The Prowl -
We really liked this Macaroni "and cheese". When I was making this, I thought the sauce looked too thin, but once I added the Parmesan it "gummed" up and turned out just right. We really liked the mushrooms, which turned out tender and delicious. Everyone really enjoyed the "tang" that this pasta had. I served it as a side dish, am sure I will be getting requests for this again. Thanks for another great dish iewe. Made for The Scandinavian round of ZWT9 for team Tasty Testers. -
We really enjoyed this easy to make pasta dish last night for dinner. DH, who is not usually a blue cheese fan, indicated that he thought the cheese gave the dish a nice bite. I didn't really measure the cheese, I just used the package I had which may have been a little over a half cup. I used fresh chives from my garden and subbed vegetable broth for the chicken broth. We served with a beet salad. I'd make this again. Thanks! Made for ZWT9

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am the mother of three, wife of one :)
My teenager is the pickiest eater in the world, while my 3 year old will eat anything (though has been acting more and more fickle lately). Our newest addition was born in June 2008, so she doesn't really know much in the way of varieties of food. My husband says "I don't care what you fix, as long as it has meat in it."
I have thousands of recipes saved on my computer from over the years, and am constantly on the lookout for new ones. I also seem to have accumulated hundreds of cookbooks over the years. I am (slowly) trying to go thru all the recipes I have saved and add them to 'Zaar, but this will take some time. I try to only post things that my family (or I) will eat (though I haven't necessarily yet tried every recipe I have posted).
