Submitted by WI Cheesehead

"This is a Kraft recipe. I am looking for recipes free of all my DD's allergies. This worked very well. I just had to leave out the onions and use my dairy free sour cream for the cream cheese and it turned out quite tasty!"

This was quite nice - we used ricotta instead of cream cheese, so got a different consistency of sauce, but still very tasty. I wonder whether the addition of a few more vegetables might benefit - we did have a lot of carrots to use up so were grateful for the recipe, but it's very "carrotty"!
