I followed this recipe most of the way... I used roasted turkey breast chunks instead of ham. Also I chopped up some garlic and added it to the milk mixture along with a little chicken broth to enhance flavor. I added everything except for peas and turkey to milk mixture and melted the cheeses then added peas and turkey to avoid cheeses clumping. also added about 3/4 tsp flour to help thicken. It was SUPER good!!!!

I found this recipe looking for ways to use up left-overs after Easter. I used a 2 different kinds of cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella.

This is such a simple recipe that can adapt to anyone's 'doctoring' - I add cream cheese or yogurt with the milk. I made this one time giving the dish a hearty Italian flavor. I made this another time giving the dish a sweet flavor from various spices. When you only have a few minutes for dinner due to kids schedules; and or are short on ingredients, give this recipe a try.

I started by sauteing some chopped garlic in butter before adding the milk and remaining ingredients. Used white cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. When the sauce was done, I spooned it over the pasta. I thought this was a good way to use the rest of a ham steak from the previous night's dinner, but my husband didn't agree. Some people don't like ham and peas I guess!

A good base recipe, though I made a few changes. To start, I used frozen peas and drained the pasta over them to thaw them out. I then sauteed the ham in some butter before adding about three quarters of a can of evaporated milk and about a quarter cup of ranch dressing, though you can do it to taste. Then I added a substantial handful of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, allowing time for it to melt before stirring in the peas and pasta. A tasty, quick supper that I will probably make again!

I doubled the cheese and milk because it didnt seem to have enough 'sauce'. I found it a bit on the bland side and feel it really needed quite a few things added to bring up the taste. Even though I don't think I will be making this again, I didn't find it BAD, it just wasnt GREAT.

This wasnt so bad...I only used 1/2 box and halved pretty much everything except for the cheese, I kept that the same (I c. each for my updated servings) & it fed the four of us. This will def. be my "desperate times" kinda go to meal.

This was somewhat bland as-is. I do not think I'd make this again. I ended up adding extra cheese for some more creaminess and extra garlic for added flavor.

My family loved this! It was quick and easy. I used frozen peas instead of canned and just cooked them with the noodles. I added a little extra milk and a few shakes of Season All to give it some more flavor. A huge hit with my 5 & 6 year olds...and my hubby liked it too.

This is a great base for starting this type of meal. I added: broccol, onions and minced garlic, sauted in pan, then added ham, peas and milk. I also added 2/4 tsp dry ground mustard, next time I may double the mustard. I didn't measure the milk or cheese, I eyeballed it. I did add more than the milk called for for sure. It was a bit too runny so I added about 1 tbsp flour and then added the pasta, so far so good, everyone likes it. My 5 yr old said he liked it before he even tried it!
