This was not at all what I expected. I followed the recipe EXACTLY and I did not care for the flavor or texture. The worcestershire was overpowering. i had about 5 bites and had to throw out the entire batch. I will not be making this again.

We found this a tad bland, butI think it would be ideal for feeding children or picky eaters. I might add some minced herbs or chopped greens for my family's palates.

Though I'm avoiding white flour this week, I really wanted to try this dish. Couldn't find noodles to suit me so I ended up using brown rice pasta shells. I also used non-fat rather than low-fat as that's what I keep on hand. The results were just amazing and much more than one might expect from such basic ingredients. The yogurt and cottage cheese turned into this creamy sauce that was nicely spiked with the worcestershire sauce and cayenne. The shells actually may have even worked better than the noodles as they cupped the sauce rather nicely. My only suggestion is to let the casserole sit a few minutes after removing it from the oven to let the sauce set and thicken a bit. This truly will become a regular dish with me. Thanks Kumquat!

I did not care for this recipe and most likely will not make it again. I will say that it was not watery as one reviewer claimed....it was the consistency of a sauce that just coated the noodles....no extra sauce to be found on your plate, it all adhered to the noodles. What I didn't like about the recipe was the minced garlic and onion. The 25-30 minute cook time was not enough time to cook those ingredients, consequently it made a gritty mouth feel to the sauce. Neither the onion or garlic had soften....and the raw taste of garlic and onion was there. If I had left the casserole in the oven longer....it certainly would have dried out. Maybe if the onion and garlic had been saute until translucent before adding to the noodles, it would have been better. The casserole was consumed, it didn't end in the garbage, but it didn't score high enough for me to make again.
