THANKS! ***UPDATE: Made it again this week and while the recipe is good as is, TRUE! I DOUBLED the topping as used a bit more broccoli too! THANKS AGAIN!

Kittencal, you never cease to amaze! I have yet to try one of your recipes that I do not like! Come live with me, and cook for me every night... please?! ;) This was fantastic, especially with the walnuts! I served it with Italian Beef Patties with Balsamic Cream Sauce - they suited each other PERFECTLY!!
