Was easy to make, my toddler and I enjoyed it and was reheat-able (added milk for reheating and simmered)

My hubby and I really enjoyed this recipe. It could have used a tad bit more flavour so maybe we'll add garlic or something next time. Made me feel like I was eating so healthy!

This recipe worked out great with some substitutions....instead of plain cream cheese I used the chive and onion flavour. Instead of the diced tomatoes, I used a cup and a half of my favourite marinara pasta sauce. I used linguine noodles also. It was amazing!

Next time I make this recipe, I plan on only putting 3/4 of the cream cheese, and adding tomato paste and more juice from the tomatoes. It was delicious!

my family loved it, my 11 year old had 4 helpings & everyone is taking the left overs for lunch tomorrow! My husband said, "your Mum hit it out of the park with this one, hey kids?"

A winner in our house! Very yummy and a different twist on a spaghetti-type dish. I used fresh veggies instead of frozen and the crisp vegetables made the difference. Also I used herb and garlic cream cheese to add a little extra flavour. Definitely will make again!

Not bad! Didn't use parmesan which may be why I felt like it was missing something in the taste. I think next time I will used herb and garlic cream cheese for more flavour. Used herb tomatoes instead of regular. Will definitly make again!

If you don't have the ingredients to make anything better, this will do. Its not a favorite, but it got eaten.
