This had good flavor, but was a bit dry. Leftovers were very dry. I added a jar of spaghetti sauce and parmesan cheese to the leftovers, which helped, but wasn't great flavor. I'm sure there is probably something that would be better to add to the leftovers, but I'm not sure what that would be.
ReplyDeleteThis was pretty good. I would add more tomatoes. I had added 3/4 cup water to mine and then microwaved it in my covered dish in the microwave for 15min. Came out perfect. I would reccommend microwaving since the noodles were pre-made, or just let us make the noodles. We had a little leftover for our big family.
ReplyDeleteI took the advice above and added water and heated up in the microwave. For the leftovers, I added a can of cream of mushroom soup and thinned it out with a little milk. I put in a small casserole dish, topped with a little mozzarella cheese, and baked until hot. Delish! Thanks for enough for 2 meals, Amy!
