Rated 3 out of 5 by from Too much asiago I like asiago, but this is just too much of it. If I try it again, I'll try half asiago and half cheddar, or something.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely Yummy! This is one recipe that is great for everyone. I have 3 picky eaters in my house and all 3 of them just love it. I love that it's a lighter version of traditional mac n cheese.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Spicey mac n cheese We really liked this and we liked it even more when we added salsa.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy and tasty This was easy enough, even for beginners that are learning to cook. It is also a recipe that you can play around with to make the flavors to your liking and taste buds. I would suggest putting the parsley to the side to let everyone decide if they want it and how much. I think the parsley really made it that much better, but my kids argued me on that opinion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great I love mac and cheese. This recipe was wonderful. I did add small chunks of Virginia Ham. I do love my meat. The hidden Valley Ranch gave it a special flavor and added variety to an old favorite.
