This was a really simple side dish. I enjoyed the poppy seeds :) It was a little bland for me so I spiced it up with a little Garlic Garni (from Gilroy, California). Thanks BarbryT

Something easy, gorgeous and unusual! Poppy seeds are underutilized and so are recipes with French names - both are a breath of fresh air! I used one pot for cooking both the noodles and carrots, one after another. Also I substituted "No Yolks" egg noodles and 2T Smart Balance light tub spread - perfect for me! For myself next time I'd add some cooked chicken cubes and make it a meal. I'd make this for company with a half stick of butter,more carrots and fewer poppy seeds. Thanks for an easy impressive dish!
