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

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

    Very Good
    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

    Very Good
    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
