This is a great base recipe. I followed it exactly except used fresh broccoli which I chopped and boiled for that last three minutes with the noodles. I LOVED the fact that this casserole did not have any of the condensed cream soups in it (5 stars for that!!!!). That being said, I thought the flavor was a bit lacking. When I make this again ( and I will make it again), I will liven up the sauce with more spices and herbs, maybe some chopped bell peppers and garlic and perhaps go a little lighter on the cheese which was the definitely the overwhelming flavor of the dish. It might also be good with a bit of sour cream added to the sauce. .In any case, this is a nice basic recipe worth playing around with to make it suit your personal taste Thanks Tisy!

I am a happily almost divorced mother of 3 grown adults and grandmother of 6 beautiful children. I really enjoy cooking but I hate it when I cook something different and no one likes it so I'm very picky with my recipes. I'm very sensitive to criticism, but I'm working on that and using it constructively so that I won't make the same mistakes anymore, LOL! My hobbies besides cooking are traveling to the beach, reading and surfing the net for new recipes which is how I found Recipezarr. Since being on this site, I very seldom venture to any other. Well, who would need to? LOL!
