LOve this recipe. Very easy and adds something to ordinary mac and cheese.

Loved it, have made this many times. It's also wonderful with Chicken or Shrimp added. Great meal for during the summer when you don't want to heat up the kitchen. Pesto is a nice substitution if you don't have Basil. Also, the Italian Diced Tomatoes work great with it too.

Way too much basil! It is all you could taste. I would not make this again, nobody ate it because it was so strong!

This was very quick and delicious. For a quicker option, use canned diced tomatoes instead of fresh.

Made it with canned tomatoes and sun dried tomato and basil pesto sauce. Delicious! And mixed leftovers with a bit of mayonaise for a nice pasta salad for next day's lunch.
