After reading the other reviews I thought this would be a safe try but boy was I wrong; an expensive experiment that tasted awaful. The only redeeming quality was that it was easy to fix. I ended up running it down the disposal.

Very Good recipe, the Cheese & Herb creme is REALLY good. The only thing for me is it seemed just a little dry, will do something to make it just a TAD bit saucier next time. Otherwise WONDERFUL

Made it tonight. It was delicious! My family loved it. Will make it again. It's quick and easy to make. It took me 23 minutes after the bow tie pasta was ready. I've told other family members about it. They will try it also. Thanks.
