We three all really enjoyed this dish. It looks very attractive in the serving dish. We will be eating this one again. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Loved this sauce! It's almost like a thick alfredo sauce and it goes VERY well with this veggie combination. When my hubby comments on vegetables, I know it's THAT good. We thought it was a great change from the usual cheddar-based sauces. I think this would go well with cauliflower in the mix, too. I'll be trying that. Thanx for a great new veggie dish!

Oh, but this was good! Even hubby, who dislikes broccoli, enjoyed this veggie side. Don't care for baby carrots so used regular sliced ones. I'm putting this one in my book of must do again-and again. Made for January Recipe Swap.

I made a double batch of sauce and mixed one with just the broccoli and carrots and one with broccoli and cauliflower. Both were great, I did end up doubling the cheese on the broccoli and cauliflower - I think the combo of the Broccoli and Cauliflower overpowered the cheese.
