Wow, this could not be any easier, I can't believe it's almost all prepared in the microwave. It was perfect for a quick meal after working all day. used rotini pasta as that was all I had on hand, and the cooking time was perfect. I also used all chicken broth, no wine, so that my DD would like it too. Served with a green salad and presto, dinner was served in less than 1/2 an hour. The amount of liquid looked like a lot at first, but once the cheese was added it was just the right consistency. Thanks for a yummy dinner! :)
