I thought this was yummy! I wasn't sure what to expect due to the widely differing reviews, and I have to say I was pleased that I took a chance on this one. I scaled it down to one serving which I baked in a 6 oz au gratin dish--perfect! I did add a Tbsp of extra cheese on top, and instead of ricotta I used cottage cheese since I had some on hand. I was also generous with the garlic and I added a few slices of summer squash to the sauteed veggies. Yum! I will definitely make this again, as I imagine it can only be yummier made in the full amount. Thanks for posting! Made for Healthy Choices 2008!

This was not very good. It was too bland...so sorry.

Very tasty! I ran out of cauliflower, so I used all broccoli. I did use all full-fat ingredients (cheeses, that is) and it was delicious. I didn't have any dried mustard, so I just added dijon mustard to taste. The mustardy flavor went very well. I used a Welsh white cheddar, which was just so yummy with this. I guess maybe I had more vegetables or something, but I made this in a 9x13 and it was quite full- I can't imagine that mine would have fit in a 9x9. Really tasty though- great comfort food. Creamy and full of veggies, cheese and noodles- what's not to love? Thanks, Sharon!

Recipe ended up being very dry. Could have used more of a cheese sauce.
