A nice and simple pasta dish -- could be used as a side or main dish. Thank you so much for sharing!

Mmmmm! THE Friday night supper of my childhood ~ a great mac and cheese! True comfort food! I went a little lighter on the salt and added a few extra grinds of pepper. Thanks for sharing Sharon. Made for Zwizzle Chicks for ZWT6.

This is a very pleasant dish. It's reminiscent of the original Alfredo sauce, which was only butter and cheese. Made for ZWT 6.

Greatnoodles! We like to have buttered noodles once in a while when I cannot think of a side dish to make; adding the parmesan cheese makes these perfect. Quick and easy to throw togethre and goes well with just about anything! Made for ZWT6 Greece.
