I'm a vegetarian and I made this dish with dairy-free butter and cheese. It was just as delicious as the original recipe.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover pasta. I usually add some vegetables to it, such as broccoli or zucchini.

I'm not a huge fan of butter and cheese, but this dish was surprisingly good. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the sauce was flavorful without being too heavy.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I often double the recipe so that I have leftovers for lunch the next day.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add some cooked chicken or shrimp to it and it makes it even more delicious.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit with my family. The kids loved it and even my picky husband went back for seconds. The leftovers were even better the next day.
