We just had this. We used Swiss cheese and swapped Greek yogurt for the heavy cream. Hubby thinks I should have used the cream. The sauce was a little thick using Greek yogurt. However, this had a great taste and is on our list to repeat! -
This is indeed a very quick and easy comfort meal. Wonderful for a weeknight meal. I added some more cream because it was a little dry, and it could have used even a bit more. The flavor with the gruyere was very nice. Thanks for sharing this one, glitter!

Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream. I used 3/4 lb. rice noodles instead of regular noodles.

I am an avid cook and recipe collector. I've been cooking since I was 9 yrs. old. I am the first American from my family so I cook many different European dishes, everything from west to east. If I had a month just to do what I would like to do...I would like to cook that month with a famous chef. I also write a bulletin for a Service to Mankind organization. Since I collect recipes anywhere I can see them, I've been asked to share them with my readers. So this site is wonderful not just for me!
