    This was better than I was expecting. I made it for my employees after telling them all about it. Most loved it, only had one that was not so thrilled with the noodles. Rinsing, heating and drying noodles prior will help alot. I have made this a couple of times and varied the chees for variety. One of my favorite!!! Thanks Hungry Girl

    It was tasty....however, I couldn't get past the smell or the texture of the noodles. If you could keep the same calories with different noodles it would be at the top of my list.

    This recipe was not as awful as I thought it would be after reading some of the reviews. I found that THOROUGHLY rinsing the noodles and then heating them for 1 minute in the microwave got rid of the smell. Drying the noodles was also important. The taste was good, however I agree with other reviewers that the texture was rather chewy and for that reason I gave it 3 stars.
