This dish is a little too heavy for me. I think I'll try a lighter version next time.

I'm not a fan of rigatoni, so I used penne pasta instead. It still turned out great!

I love that this recipe can be made ahead of time. I often make it the night before a potluck and then just reheat it when I'm ready to serve.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used a dairy-free cheese alternative. The dish still turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out bland. I think I needed to add more salt and pepper.
