  1. I loved the flavor and how easy this is to put together. I used shredded parmesan cheese and didn't have the grainy texture.
     
  2. I had the same experience as the previous reviewer...grainy texture and I did make sure to fully remove the pot from direct heat (which I've heard can cause graininess). Still- nice low-fat alternative to cheese sauce and had a little zip due to the mustard. Tossed about a tbs of asiago in as well and really liked the flavor. Thanks for posting.
     
  3. The sauce has a very nice flavor with the thyme adding a little something extra. My one complaint was it did end up a tad grainy. I am not sure if this was something I did wrong or because of the low fat nature of the recipe. It ends up only being 1 WW point though, so it is very likely we will have this dish again.
