Next time I will add mushrooms and use an herb & garlic cream cheese. Still good...but was lacking that little something.

Loved it! We had it with chiken and some turkey bacon. It was very easy and very tasty. I would absolutely recommend you give it a try.

This was recipe turned out OK, but I really didn't like the flavor of the creamy ceasar dressing. Next time, I will use light sour cream instead of the dressing, and maybe herb & garlic light cream cheese spread instead of the plain cream cheese. I don't eat meat, so I left out the ham for my portion and used some grated smoked gouda for that smoky flavor.

I skipped the cream cheese, creamy ceasar dressing, flour and milk, and substituted olive oil and my favourite pepper spice... it was fantastic! ... and probably half the calories too.

This was super easy and tasty. I used spinach fettuccine and used prawns instead of ham.
