"So glad you posted this!!! I am moving, my recipes are packed up, and I want to make this for a dinner I'm preparing for a friend whose father passed away. As many times as I've made it, I couldn't remember the recipe. So thank you so much for posting this wonderful, flavorful, creamy mac and cheese. By the way, I always double this recipe and top..."

"Less than 5 stars? I don't think so!!! Made this for dinner with Santa Lucia sausage and grilled squash (since we have so much of it now and it was a HUGE hit. I didn't measure the olive oil, just 4 turns round the pan, so I think it was less than 1/4 cup. Don't skimp on the fresh garlic, be sure to salt the water when you cook the pasta, do use ..."

"What beautiful flavor and texture! This is the first biscotti I've ever made that sliced perfectly. I am so happy that I tried this recipe. I've decided to make it for my cookie exchange this year, but I'll shape the loaf a bit more narrow since I have to make 10 dozen. I may dip them in chocolate, but if I don't, no one will be disappointed. They..."

"I am so glad I forgot to buy canned pizza sauce and had to look up a recipe at the last minute. This was so so so so good and easy. I made pizza tonight, but had some leftover stromboli and used this for dip. I'll probably give the rest to my college daughter for dipping mozzarella sticks or for English Muffin pizzas. Thanks!"

"This is a great salad! I had to make some changes for dietary restrictions and to accommodate what I had on hand (only 1/4 cup sugar, red wine vinegar instead of cider vinegar, craisins instead of raisins, Vidalia onion instead of red onion, and no bacon but the combination of broccoli, peanut, and onion was fantastic. Thanks so much for a great ..."

"Thanks so much for a wonderful, wonderful recipe. I did alter it to try to recreate a recipe I lost and for dietary restrictions, but I know it would have been fantastic just as you've written it. The changes I made are to substitute coleslaw mix for the napa cabbage, use less butter, and sunflower seeds instead of sesame seeds. Also, I reduced th..."

"Can't imagine anyone giving this less than 5 stars. Fantastic just as submitted, but I've also made it with Ro-Tel tomatoes since my family likes the extra heat. Fantastic the next day as well. This is a lighter version of one of my all-time favorites, Tomato Vegetable Casserole from Giada DiLaurentis which is posted on recipezaar also. Thanks for..."

"Once again, Kittencal comes through for her RecipeZaar friends! I made this for sandwiches (balsamic chicken with fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, and roasted pepper on ciabatta bread and used it as both marinade and dressing to save time. Great flavor even without the black pepper which my daughter dislikes. Thanks Kittencal, you're the best!"

"Having lost several Christmas cookie recipes in a move, I was so happy to make this recipe and find that it's exactly like my favorite! The directions are complete and easy to follow. I've always loved that you make the dough and bake later, and the slice and bake makes it a great one for huge quantities for cookie exchanges. Thanks for sharing!"

"I lost my recipe for these cookies and have made this one for two years now. My husband never noticed it's not his mother's recipe. If you make sure the butter is soft and the nuts are finely chopped and don't pack the flour when measuring, the dough will be easily manageable. I use a small scoop to get even sized cookies and bake on commercial we..."
