My family enjoyed this recipe. I added some crushed red chili flakes to give it a bit more of a kick. Will make again!

Very Easy to make and quick...especially if you cook the pasta up ahead of time. Well liked by both husband and kids...You can use reduced fat cream cheese any variety you like...reduced sodium chicken stock or broth , Add your own dill or other herbs and hot peppers if you like . I also added cut up variety of veggies (like sweet peppers and celery) pre-cooked in Micro and added at the end... :-)

Fantastic recipe!! Received rave reviews! I used a whole container of herb and garlic light cream cheese. So creamy and yet so healthy. Thank you.

I made it for my teenage children. My 13 year old basketball player son liked it the most.

This was great,my husband loved it. I halved everything (just the two of us tonight) and it turned out deliciously. I used herb and garlic cream cheese. This recipe is now in my recipe file to be used again.
