This is my first experience with using the Cooking Creme. While it was a time saver, it wasn't my favorite. I have another penne recipe using regular cream cheese mixed with sour cream and sliced green onions mixed together. I like that better. Using the "quick stuff" was quick, but not necessarily better for my personal taste. Overall, though, a good recipe that many will probably enjoy.

My family really liked this. The only thing I changed was I used a full pound of hamburger. I think would like less meat next time so 1/2 lb. I want to try it with ground turkey. Used whole wheat penne. I think this would be yummy with shrimp!

This turned out pretty good, but I added some shredded carrots and fresh parsley to the recipe. Left out the beef since I don't eat it. Great basic baked penne.

Oh my word...I must admit, I made this recipe only expecting it to be "okay." Wow, was I blown away! It was incredible!! My husband tells me that this recipe is going on our list of "recipes to impress" for when we have company. I'll just be sure not to tell company how easy it is to make! :) I didn't make a single change to this recipe, and it turned out great. Thanks for sharing!

This was excellent! I did, however, make a few modifications... my grocery store did not have the Italian Seasoning cooking creme so I substituted the Tomato Basil in its stead (to make it more "season-y" I added some added minced garlic and herbs de provence to the meat so the tomato flavor wasn't overwhelming); I used 1.25 lbs of ground turkey instead of a half pound of beef (which came out deliciously); I used the equivalent of dry chopped onions to the fresh chopped onion (2 tbsp); and I used around 4 cups of pasta instead of the 3---and it turned out great. My fiance and I loved it! A caution, though---it makes a ton of leftovers for two people! Which, in the case of this dish's superior deliciousness, I totally did not mind :)
