Very good, the only thing I would do next time is add garlic. Maybe double the recipe next time, there where no leftovers, for our family of 4.

Very easy and very good. Make sure you add salt, pepper and even a little garlic. Probably will add sausage to spice it up next time.

I was skeptical about using uncooked pasta. It turned out great; it was like a casserole on the stove. My whole family liked it and the leftovers were eaten another day. I will throw in a little sausage the next time I make it.

very good and very easy. i didn't use shredded mozzarella, but i used the kraft crumbles and i actually put it and mixed it all up before the last 5 minutes. yummy.

I loved the method of cooking everything in one pot...less dishes to wash and less space on the stove is always a good thing. I did use slightly less water and was afraid that the taste would be watered down but it wasn't at all! I also used fresh baby portabella mushrooms and they were absolutely delish. This dish is definitely worth trying!!

I made this recipe when my inlaws came over and my mother-in-law loved it and so did everyone else including the young kids. I didn't use mushrooms or red peppers and I used only 3 cups of water, because the amount suggested seemed like too much. I will definitely make it again...next time for my side of the family.
