Oh so good on a cold winter night! The whole family enjoyed this - from grandkids up to adults. Creamy, mild but tasty. I used half white wine and half sherry. Thanks Bev for an easy, delicious recipe! -
My whole family enjoyed this one! I used turkey instead of chicken and it was wonderful! Definitely a keeper here. Thanks Bev ; ) -
This was great winter comfort food! I'm not normally a fan of 'white sauce' pasta dishes as I find them comparatively bland, but this was yummy! I figured it must be a 5 star dish as I couldn't stop going back for just a little bit more, just a little bit more... Next time I would add some garlic in with the onions, but that's about it. I didn't have seasoned pepper so used Italian seasoning plus a good grind of fresh black pepper; I also added some tasty cheese to the top layer, which made it extra yummy. I used wide egg noodles as they're DH's favourite. Thank you for a really good recipe Bev, we are looking forward to the leftovers later in the week! -
Nice and creamy comfort food. I halfed the recipe and added 1 T. poultry seasoning. I didn't have that much parmesan cheese so I added some mixed cheeses, shredded with the parmesan cheese.
