I chose this because I liked the idea of NOT turning the oven on...and it doesn't call for soup!!! The flavour worked out really nicely, love the rosemary. I didn't have lemon pepper, but could see how that would be good in it. The only thing that kind of stumped me was the amount of noodles vs the amount of sauce. Seems like a whole lot for 2 people. I ended up using a whole bag of the 'no yolk' noodles, which is 340 g (so, under 1 lb, but close enough). Maybe the no yolk kind are lighter. In any case, it was a little dry with so many noodles, so next time I'd just be sure to make more sauce. I also didn't want to get 3 pots dirty and managed to do it in 2. Thanks Shantal - my kids really enjoyed this!!
