Perfection! Both of these cheeses together make such a wonderful aroma and taste. The thyme not only gives a nice taste but also looks really pretty. I love that it is so flavorful and so simple too. Thank you Giada!

Healthy - Smealthy! Sometimes you just gotta go for it. First of all, I LOVE macaroni and cheese or any noodle and any cheese. Forget leftovers. In my house, I claim dibs on all noodle/cheese things after day 1. I made it for a post-Thanksgiving dinner along with chicken cutlets and a great salad. I used pecorino instead of asiago only because I picked up the wrong cheese at the grocery. But, I added some parmesan to give it that salty, nutty flavor thing they always talk about. I kept going back and forth re the pasta type. I used a spiral pasta (forget its name instead of fettucine because I had some of it in the pantry. But, I think the fettucine would have been better because the sauce would have clung differently. The type of pasta you use is really important because sauce clings differently among the various types. Anyway, it was great - really good.

I was trying to make something for dinner from the items I had on hand, and this was a success. I did't have cream fraiche so I used sour cream. I didn't have Asiago cheese so I used mozerella and provolone. I didn't have fettuccine noodles so I used whole wheat spiral noodles. Everyone loved it especially the kids who are very picky. As for the unhealthy factor, using part skim mozarella, low fat sour cream, and whole wheat noodles makes it lower in fat and calories but not necessarly healthy.

The commentary before the recipe ingredients calls this a 'stuffed' pasta dish covered in cream. I would love to see how one stuffs a fettuccine. In any case, while I thought the dish was tasty, it is so unhealthy that I didn't give it a very high rating. I couldn't in good conscience serve this to my family or guests while we are all trying to lower our cholesterol intake.

Tried this recipe and have to say 'MY FAMILY LOVED IT"! Now they ask for this dish over the traditional mac and cheese. This is a simple but TASTEFUL dish, a true winner in my book! Thanks Giada.

I have served this recipe many times and have never made an adjustment. I find it "perfect" as is, and I usually serve it with peppers and onions. Another Giada winner!

Wow, I am so happy I still made this dish even after I read the reviews! This was absolutely delicious. I'm not quite sure what lack of flavor some thought was missing but it was very good and when your kids eat up that's saying something. Definitely will prepare again. Thanks Giada!
