This recipe was very bland, so I added a few alternative to the recipe. IN addition to the amounts required to the peas, butter & noodles, I used...Instead of cream >sour cream, & 2/3 cup of 1%% milk, fresh mushrooms, Romano & Parmesan cheese (grated - recipe amount), provolone cheese (shredded - 1/2 cup), white pepper (1/8 tsp). Mixed & Baked required time. The fellows in my home love it! Enjoy!
2/8/2012 06:40:32 PM Report AbuseThis recipe would have not been good had I not changed almost everything...Just adding milk/cream makes a runny sauce. Try making a roux or adding cheese to the hot milk to thicken it. I also added broccoli and onion. Very tasty in the end, but the sauce needed to be thicker.

4/25/2011 04:00:00 PM Report AbuseThis casserole came out really nicely for me. I followed the recipe but used regular whipping cream. The dish looked very pretty and tasted great. Four cloves give it a pleasant garlic-y flavor. This is a dish I will definitely, definitely prepare again.
