I didn't have broccoli and cauliflower on hand so I chopped up fresh spinach and used it instead. It turned out great, my kids even loved it!

It was ok. My husband thought it was bland and dry, I agree. It may be because of too many noodles, it sucked up any cheesy goodness, so don't overdo the noodles. My first review and thought the tip would help.

My wife and I made this together. It was quite easy and tasted delicious. Since our grocery store didn't have the Tomato & Basil Cooking Creme, we used Italian Cheese and Herb instead. It was good anyway
