This is absolutely delicious. I added some chicken and andouille sausage for some added protein as well as red chili flakes (for more flavor) and parsley for a garnish. Highly recommend this one!

I love anything pasta and cheese and this dish fits the bill! Because I never follow directions to the T, I embellished the dish a bit due to not having all the ingredients and substituting for what I had; cassava flour for regular flour, half heavy whipping cream and goat milk. I grated smoked mozzarella and used a mix of some with gruyere and goat milk romano cheese. I sprinkled some smoked paprika on top. AMAZING!

This was good. A little bland. I added some fresh parsley and extra Parmesan to give it a little more flavor.
