This is the recipe my daughters and I often make for new parents when they come home from the hospital. With its creamy spaghetti filling and melted cheese topping, this casserole holds a nice cut and comforts hungry tummies. -Fancheon Resler, Bluffton, Indiana

Overall, this is a good recipe. It's easy to make and the flavor is good. However, I found that it was a bit too salty for my taste. Next time, I will use less salt and see how that turns out.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The cheese sauce was very heavy and the noodles were a bit mushy. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a lighter cheese sauce and cooked the noodles for a shorter amount of time.

I'm not usually a fan of casseroles, but this one is an exception. It's so cheesy and flavorful, and the noodles are cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend and then use it to make this dish during the week. It's a quick and easy way to get a delicious and healthy meal on the table.

I love that this dish is so versatile. You can easily add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. For example, I like to add a little bit of diced jalapeno for a spicy kick. You could also add some cooked bacon or sausage for a more savory flav

I've made this dish several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's a great casserole to bring to potlucks or parties because it's easy to transport and can be made ahead of time. The leftovers are also great for lunch or dinner the next day.
