This is a good use-up-your-left-overs kind of recipe. I made some additions and changes that turned out great! 1) I sauteed crushed garlic in 1/4 c. butter. 2) I added left over baked chicken that I cut up into cubes. 3). Added a 1/2 cup of frozen spinach. 4) I used white American, mozzarella and parm b/c that's what I had on hand. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!

I followed the recipe exactly as stated (except using butter instead of margarine) and it came out tasteless. Not even real minced garlic or the best cheese could save this dish.

This was sooo delicious! My kids loved it! The only thing different I did was substituting five minced cloves of garlic for the garlic powder.

This recipe is a good base recipe... and it's as good as you make it. For the garlic butter, if you use margarine and garlic powder, it's going to taste like margarine and garlic powder... kinda like the frozen garlic bread you get at the grocery. If you want a more upscale flavor, use real butter and minced roasted garlic. A half cup of butter is a LOT of butter, so you might want to cut that back. I only used 2 Tbsp butter and found it to be fine. Also keep in mind you're using a lot of cheese which will release some fat when it's cooked. If just cheese and pasta sounds a little rich (I thought it was) feel free to toss in veggies of your choice. I like artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, onion, spinach, etc. Overall it's a good dish, and a nice change from the same old spaghetti.

Delicious! We had a few additions to the recipe, otherwise we followed it exactly. We added 1 1/2 fresh diced Roma Tomatoes, tons of garlic (as we are fiends), and 1/2 of an uncooked medium sized white onion to the cheese then added as directed. Next time we are going to add about 1/4 pound of mozzarella cheese and some green chilies. Defiantly a very flexible recipe as far as additions go.

This was good but I made some changes to give it more flavor. I melted 1/4 cup of butter and added 2 tsp of garlic salt (the garlic salt I have has added parsley and salts) and basil. After the noodles were done I coated the noodles with the butter/spice mix. The cheese I used was Kraft - Italian - 5 cheese. Has Mozzarella, Provolone, Romano, Asiago and Parmesan. I layerd the noodles and cheese in a 9" glass pie pan. Cooked at 400 F for about 30 minutes. I used 8 oz of noodles. Goooood. :)

This is good. I did make a couple changes though. I cut back on the butter (used butter, not marg) because a couple people said it was greasy. And, like a reviewer before me suggested, I used a bunch of roasted garlic (2 big heads actually) It was very simple to make, and turned out well. Pasta, cheese and butter! How can you go wrong? :)
