Easy, fast (I cubed chicken and cooked it instead of using the ready to go stuff). A little bland, but can easily be jazzed up some. A great basic quick recipe.

A little bland, but was easy. Could easily be dressed up to ease up some of the bland taste. The family had no complaints.

Super easy and my family loved it. Read the reviews about it being bland, so I added extra garlic (minced) and extra butter. I also bought a 3 cheese blend and we added it generously to the pasta. We devoured it!!!

Seriously? Very very bland...don't even understand how you can possibly make it taste decent without any sauce or serous cheese...there is no taste, will NOT make again.
