I changed a shrimp fondue recipe I had for quite a while and came up with this great pasta dish. It takes only minutes to prepare.

I really wasn't expecting to like this but I thought I would give it a try and it's a good thing because I think this is an awesome dish! So many people said it lacked flavor that I made some small additions. I added 1 clove of minced garlic 1 tsp of garlic salt and 1 tsp of cajun seasoning. It's fantastic and tastes just like pasta I've had at some restaurants. Try it! The additional salt in the garlic salt and the kick from the cajun seasoning are really good. Read More

After reading the reviews I did make a few adjustments to the recipe. I used chive and onion cream cheese (I omitted the chives all together because of this) and added some seasoned salt. I am not a fan of peas so I used broccoli and spinach instead. It came out quite nice! Read More

This was a quick easy and tasty recipe! I used cream of mushroom and yellow onion as I did not have any green...Also I used imitation lobster chopped and canned peas instead of frozen. It came out great---super fast! I would make this again. Thanks for sharing:) Read More

My family and I werent too fond of this recipe. I thought it was too bland even though I added extra seasonings and used chive and onion cream cheese. I didnt like the celery soup at all. I have a similar recipe that I will be sticking with. Read More

This was so good - it brought to mind a pasta dish I order a lot at a local restaraunt. It was rich and tasty and flavored just right. I will definitely be making it again! Read More

I was really disappointed with this recipe!! In my opinion it's lacking TONS of flavor! I probably won't ever make this again...but if I do I may try making it with chive and onion cream cheese instead of plain...cut the amount of peas by half...maybe add some Old Bay garlic parmesan...The recipe definitley has potential -- it just needs MORE!!

This is a good dish but will try with chicken next time and hardly any onions. The green onions were over powering and I love onions. Also a dash of season salt and garlic powder made it more flavorful. The homeade alfredo sauce to this receipe would be great on many other kinds of foods as well. Read More

We liked this! My two year old son ate it and ate it! Even with the green peas in it and that would usually not happen. It is not a spicy dish and really doesn't have "kick" more like a comfort food. So if you are looking for something with "bite" this isn't it it's more of an alfredo type dish. One thing I may do if I make it again is use like a chive flavored cream cheese or vegetable flavored or something. That sounds really good. Oh I added fresh mushrooms that I sauteed a little with the green onions because my son loves mushrooms (anything to get veggies in the little guy)!! Thank you for the recipe! Read More
