I think we have the same flavor profile! I love how easy it is to find a great meal, like this one! Looks so good!
Thanks Tanya! My flavor profile should be just food in general, lol. I like to eat!
One of my top 3 is cheesy too and this most certainly qualifies. Looks delicious! I love that I can expand my fish dishes I fix on a regular basis… the citrus salmon with orange relish I chose was AMAZING! Pinned.

Oh my goodness, this looks delicious! I’m definitely making this! thanks for sharing! A healthier option for a family favorite.
Hi! Love this recipe. My wife found it on pinterest a year or so ago. and we make it about every week, We sub the diced tomatoes for Rotel for a little extra spice. I do have a question for you. I have made it using both 2 “dry cups” of pasta, and using 2 “liquid cups” of pasta. This basically amount to about 9 oz. vs 16 oz. by weight. I love both of them, but was curious which way you meant in the original recipe.
Cheers!

Hi Austin! I’m so happy that you and your wife love this so much! I used 2 dry cups pasta 🙂
I feel like I’m doing something wrong no matter how long I wait the juice doesn’t go away is it all supposed to be gone because its like a soup its good but I’m pretty sure its not supposed to be soupy right?
Hi Jessica, that is strange that the juice never seems to thicken for you. It should definitely be a thick casserole texture by the time the pasta is cooked through. If you decide to give it another go, perhaps leaving the pot uncovered while simmering will solve the issue. That way more liquid will be able to evaporate. Have a great day!
