American Chop Suey (Serious Eats)

This was a very promising recipe, but with some serious problems as written.  It also makes a BOATLOAD.

Here's the original link:  https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/09/american-chop-suey-johnny-marzetti-beefaroni-hamburger-helper-goulash-italian-american-recipe.html

Our notes:
 - Too much cheese (never thought we'd say that).  We'd cut the mozzerella in half.
 - Avoid making the noodles too soggy.  Their pre-soaking instruction leads to soggy noodles.
 - Would be nice to have bigger curly tubes instead of the small macaroni elbows we used from TJs.

  - Might consider halving the recipe itself if you don't want so much at a time.

Next time we're going to try and just cook them in the sauce, or maybe soak them for ~ 10 min in cold water first.

Also add a green vegetable like spinach or broccoli.
