Thats great, but did you add the cheddar before the noodles were cooked? I did last time and I had paste!~
 
I love this, too! I wonder what went wrong. I made this for 120 people CAMPING last summer! :D My only problem was the dishwashers had to do more scraping on the bottom than I would have liked.

I don't remember. I followed the directions and don't remember having a problem. Maybe you had the heat up too high.

Ok Mmmmmmm! I added the cream cheese to the boiling water, and did not add the shredded cheese til the end after noodles were fully cooked. Also added a bit of mon/jack. This could be the 4 cheese penne sauce they use at Applebee's. Mmmmm!
No more Schwans Penne Augratin for me! This is to easy!
Mmmmmm!
