This was ok. I followed the directions exactly but I still had a problem at the end. Even with the low temperature, the sauce became a big blob of cheese (which BTW did surprise me, as I didn't realize that cottage cheese could melt that way)The flavour was ok and my parents who were over for dinner, did eat more than their fair share. However, I don't think I will make this again, sorry. -
This tasted good, but I did not end up with a sauce at the end. It was soupy and runny and I'm not sure if that is how it was supposed to be. The kids liked it though, and I guess that's what matters!
