    I also boiled the chicken and used Rotel - great substitution! Only 7 WW points for a very filling serving; will make again, and again, and again.... - 5/4/08

    Cheese has a lot of sodium, so if you're watching your sodium intake skip the cheese sauce and top your pasta with red sauce. It's better for you anyway. - 4/13/08

    Very Good
    I haven't made this yet, but it just sounds delicious! I don't know if I will use all of the 16 oz. of l/f velvetta ... I might use some other lighter cheeses, such as parmesan in with it. BUT it sounds great!!! TY!!! ~Nomi - 4/2/08
