This is the exact recipe that is in the Moosewood Cookbook, except that their's also includes 1 C of mozzarella too. I love this casserole. I've made it a few times in the past. However, 1x I made it and it came out really gummy and it tasted awful. Think the breadcrumbs messed it up for some reason. Not sure why it was ok the other times. Maybe the texture of the breadcrumbs? Anyway, this is an excellent casserole. It is already on Zaar somewhere else too, as I already rated it there.
