    Mine was kind of dry. Maybe some non- or low fat cream cheese at the end would have been better. - 8/7/17

    Great recipe. I used penne pasta and cooked for 4 hours on low setting. The pasta was perfect. - 1/11/09

    Great flavor, hough I did make a few changes. I didn't add the mushrooms or tomatoes since my kids don't like them. I used water instead of chicken broth because I didn't have any broth on hand. And I added frozen peas near the end of cooking time. Next time I'll try 3 hours (not 4) to avoid mush. - 1/15/08

    It was actually a lot better than I expected... I used fresh mushrooms and added zucchini. Next time, I think I'll chop the sundried tomatoes into very small pieces, because they were a bit overpowering. Otherwise, delicious! - 11/19/07

    This was pretty good. The flavor was there but I wasn't to keen on the consistency. I actually cooked it for 6 hours on the "keep warm" setting and it was just a pile of mush. However, the kids loved it! - 7/20/07
