This is a simple recipe that yields very good flavor and a good way to use up leftover cooked chicken (would work with turkey too). I wasn't sure if I was supposed to cover the casserole when baking. I did, only because I was afraid the exposed pasta might get dried out. I liked the combination of the cheeses. The sauce took longer than a minute to thicken (4 cups of liquid is a lot to thicken) but once it did it worked perfectly. Just keep stirring it occasionally until it is noticeably thicker (it won't be thick like gravy but it does thicken nicely).
