This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add some more spices next time.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used vegan cheese in this recipe and it turned out great. This recipe is very adaptable.

I added some cooked chicken to this dish and it was delicious. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but I really enjoyed this dish. The cheese and penne made up for the broccoli.

I substituted spinach for the broccoli and it turned out just as good. This recipe is very versatile.

I love the cheesy flavor of this dish. The three cheeses melt together perfectly and create a creamy sauce.

The broccoli was a bit too crunchy for my taste, but overall the dish was good. I'll try cooking the broccoli for a few minutes longer next time.
