My kids thank you. This recipe is simple and very tasty. I halved the recipe and still had plenty for 4 people. This is a great side dish that I will definitely be making again and again. ~Made for the Veg*nSwap~

    These were very tasty noodles but next time I would cut down on the salt as they were a bit to salty for us. I used Amish kluski noodles and parmesan cheese. Added extra pepper and enjoyed! Thank you so much Sharon for posting this recipe. Made and reviewed for the Newest Zaar Tag Game.

    This was a good and easy side dish. I followed the recipe as written using parmesan cheese and cutting back on the salt as it seemed like a lot of salt. It was still a bit too salty for us so would cut it back even more.
