Cheesy Broccoli Noodles
"What I love about this recipe is that it is cheap, filling, and oh so easy! You can substitute any kind of cheese or spices in the sauce to complement a different meat. I came up with this one night when I was tired of using spaghetti sauce on everything. You can substitute whole wheat flour in this recipe as well as whole wheat noodles and fat free milk, that's what I cook with."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
As mother of a toddler, quick and easy recipes are my favorite for now, but whenever I can putter in the kitchen I love to. My husband is picky but loves most things Mexican, and most of my family recipes are due to my Slavic/German heritage. I will try anything once, and love mixing and creating my own recipes. I especially try to come up with low calorie dessersts to curb my sweet tooth while I'm watching my weight.
