I was looking for a pasta option to serve with steak and I didn't want to make my macaroni and cheese it is a bit too much work for a weeknight. I found this recipe online and used a bag of pre-shredded Italian mix of cheese and additional parmesan. Followed the recipe and it was delicious, with the cheeses I used tasted like an Alfredo sauce. A great quick option for a weeknight.
