Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta

AMAZING!  That is one of the many words I would use to describe this pasta.  It is so creamy and delicious.  I don't know where this recipe has been all my life, but is is so good.

In fact, it was so good, both of the kids had two helpings.  In fact, I had two helpings too!  That is actually pretty unusual in my house (I'm more of a junk food person, not real food).

Ashton's initial response to this dish was that it was "The bomb."

Sydney rolled the noodles around in her mouth a bit and then declared is delicious.

I think we've found a keeper.
