This is an excellent, simple recipe. I used a high-quality white cheddar cheese and you could tell the good cheese really made this recipe stand out. I think I might add some chopped ham next time I make it - kind of like a Hawaiian pizza.

High rating for the simple, easy, great tasting comfort food. Some said this was kind of plain, but I think that is what makes it a comfort food. I make it often for the Rescue Mission and those men probably don't want a bunch of different stuff in their food anyway. I usually use home made chicken stock, so I have to add quite a bit of salt for all that pasta (even with the Parmesan). I used smoked turkey (and smoked turkey stock) and it is awesome that way. I've sometimes added liquid smoke flavoring which is good too. Sure, it would be good with a can of baby peas, some mushrooms, garlic, shallots (would be great!), who knows, maybe even some cooked, sliced bacon. But, the simplicity of this recipe is one of the things that makes it so attractive. Next time I might try cooking for a shorter time as others have suggested, so that it is more soupy.

5 Stars on Flavor, but 3 stars on preparation (in my opinion). To me, there was at least twice as much dressing as needed. Lucky for me I was using Bok Choy from the garden, so I went and picked another head. I used 2 large heads. My recommendation, in case you don't agree with me is to make this per the recipe, but start by only adding half the dressing and see what you think. For a variation, try seasoned rice vinegar instead of wine vinegar (I think its better this way). Also really good with part seasoned rice vinegar and part spicy South American pineapple vinegar.
