NOTES : This recipe is pretty flexible, you could use fusilli or penne instead
of rigatoni, substiute cream of chicken, or onion or broccol for the
mushroom soup. Switch the green beans to peas, or steamed broccoli, or zucchin
i (maybe) - I don't recommend corn in this one.
As for the cheese, I think cheddar, swiss, colby, or parmesan would all work we
ll too !
