Now I need to try lobster! Thanks Beth!
This looks wonderful
Thanks so much!!!!!
yes please!!! sounds delicious!
I know!!!! I could eat this every week. Thank you ❤️
This is so tasty
Thank you!!!
This looks delicious! Definitely saving and making this one day. The pasta look cute too!
My mom used wagon wheel pasta when I was a kid. We would eat anything she used it with because of the wheels. It worked with my daughter too (my son ate anything). All these years later I am still using it…lol
That is such a cute name for the pasta. Something I admittedly don’t cook a lot with.
I have a question. Do you have any easy vegan or vegetarian recipes?
Not yet but I have had people asking for some so I am thinking about making some.
Oh good.! Look forward to them. 😊
I definitely want to try this. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome!
Delectable.
Thanks Matt!
OMG, my mouth is watering. I am definitely going to try this one, easy peasy and looks delicious.
Enjoy it was even great the next day! Thank you Carla!
Will have to get fresh seafood this week.
You’re killing me! What day and what time is dinner? This will be amazing with fresh seafood! I had to use frozen and canned.
I have to see if the place I get fresh is open or it may be frozen and canned here too.
Oh yes anymore you can’t count on anything being open or having what we want.
such a great combination. YUM
It really was, next time maybe lobster….lol
I’m so glad I just saw this! You might have just saved my date night!
Hahahaha maybe you should make it with lobster instead!
We call our daughter the casserole queen…sending this one to her now!
I love that name! Who doesn’t LOVE casseroles. Thanks for sharing it with her.
Looks good and would be good cold in the Summer for leftovers.
Oh you know I did that! Thanks Linda
Always – I could just picture it cold!
This looks marvelous
I’ve never seen that pasta shape before. Will look for it.
Fancy comfort food!
Is called wagon wheels. We find it at Amish county stores. My mom use to make macaroni and cheese with it when I was a kid. I love it because the cheese gets trapped in the wheel shape making every bite SO good!!!!
Years ago Buitoni macaroni made wagon wheels. Don’t know if the company is still around. Expensive at the time and their product was only sold in 1/2 pound red and white boxes.
Interesting I’m sure glad the Amish sell it!
A 100% percent my kind of dish! 😊😊😊
VVN
You can’t go wrong with Mac & cheese! Especially when there is crab and shrimp added!
Reblogged this on Nelson MCBS.
Thanks again!!!!! ❤️
Gasp. Is this dish even legal?!?! If I were to make it would the “over-yumminess” police knock on my door and take me away?!?! Ok if you don’t see any more blog posts from me you know what happened and I was found with this casserole smeared all over my mouth, ha!
Hahahahahaha you are hilarious Tierney!!!!! Thank you for your nice (Hilarious) comment!
First time i saw the “Wagon wheel pasta” Looks so delicious 😋
I love it because all the sauce/cheese gets caught inside the wheels so every bite is delicious. Thank you Shaheen!
It would taste awesome with mince meat as well right 😍😍😍😋😋👌👌
But we don’t get it here😜😜
Thanks for sharing Diane 💖
How interesting! The only thing I have seen mince meat used in here is pie…lol
Mince meat tastes amazing in Sandwiches as well, and we make Kebabs out of mincemeat 😍😍😋😋😋😋
This looks like the most delicious pasta dish!
Thank you so much! 🌺

Simply Delicious 😀
Thanks for sharing Diane!
Awww thank you and you’re welcome!
No problem <3
I made it at home for my self, and it tasted wonderful, that is a great recipie.
Thank you! The one I posted today is different from that recipe. Todays recipe doesn’t have sour cream, has scallops and is a completely different taste. If you get a chance, give todays recipe a try too as it tasted amazing. I’m glad you enjoyed the Seafood Macaroni & Cheese though. We liked that one too, after all, it has seafood in it…lol Have a fantastic weekend!!!!

We have to love WP, glad you’re back. I haven’t made the Breakfast Pizza in ages, now I want it.
I would bet that you couldn’t find a restaurant anywhere that had a dish better than this. It looks amazing. Thanks, Diane!
