This was a great recipe, but I modified it quite a bit. Used egg noodles instead of pasta. Didn't have enough broccoli so used a couple heads of broccoli plus 10 ounces of fresh spinach tossed in with the broccoli. On top I added a cheese sauce made from flour, butter, skim milk and shredded cheddar cheese. It was excellent with quite a kick due to the cayenne pepper.
