This is such a great recipe. Easy and so delicious! I exchanged the noodles for Miracle Noodles as we are lectin-free. Worked really well. The walnuts were a great addition.

Delicious recipe - especially considering the time from Freezer-to-Table! Wouldn't change a thing.

Very tasty! I didn't have walnuts, but I am sure they are an excellent addition that I will add next time.

This makes for a quick and easy pasta dish. Delicious! The Brie is perfect for this. I only used 1/2 cup of walnuts because that was all I had on hand. This is a dish I will make over and over again. Thanks so much, Lusil.
