How to Make Easy Creamy Cheesy Rotini on a Stove Top
Aunt Lou here.
This Easy Creamy Cheesy Rotini’s name says it all. It really is an easy recipe that gives you a delicious, rich and creamy side dish that goes really well with a variety of main dishes and side dishes.
I am guessing you might already realize that I make quite a few new recipes. Even when we love a recipe, it some times takes a while for me to be able to make it again. So, it has been a bit since my family has been able to enjoy this recipe. My picky eater has developed a thing about pasta that is not macaroni or spaghetti. I showed this recipe to my picky eater, and she agreed to try one piece of rotini. After that first bite, she said she wanted a bowl. After finishing that bowl, she said, “Mom, you need to make this recipe more often, like a LOT! It is really good!” I hope you and any of your loved ones you serve this to have the same reaction.
