My family really enjoyed this side dish. It is kind of like an Italian macaroni and cheese because it was loaded with creamy melted cheese. The dish had a subtle hint of lemon with basil which was nice. I only added 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice which was perfect for my family because it gave a hint of lemon but did not truly flavor the dish. The recipe did not state the amount of butter to use when preparing the dish so I assumed 3 Tablespoons (like making a white sauce). Thanks for sharing your recipe! -
I decided to make this recipe because I wanted something different than normal pasta with tomato sauce. I added some garlic salt to the sauce because most of the cheese sauces I had like this usually have a bit of a garlic flavour. I used 3 tablespoons of butter like the other reviewers. -
This wasn't bad. I, too, assumed about 3 tbsp. of butter & cut the lemon juice in half. It reminded me a lot of country gravy.
