Better Than I Thought It Would Be

This recipe makes a decent casserole of sorts. Although it is not a traditional casserole as you do not bake it.

It takes very little time to put together. Really you just have the simmering time.

I used extra broad egg noodles for the pasta. Depending on what pasta you use I think it would have endless possibilities.

I do think the dish needed just a touch more salt.

Other than that, it was a lovely, speedy dinner.
