Chip and I had planned to spend the day together before his trip to Michigan next week and last minute he got called into work. As a result, I got in a very long workout at the gym, cleaned the crap out of the kitchen and knocked out another of my Moosewood Cookbook recipes. Wow! This one turned out great. I did a few alternations from the original recipe. First of all, I used whole wheat noodles cause, well, I always use whole wheat when I can. The recipe is not very specific on amounts when it comes to broccoli so I think I used more than it suggests which is great, but then there is less sauce to cover it and the mushrooms and onions are my favorite and I used the correct amount of them so next time I will use a little less broccoli. Everything I used was low fat or non-fat and I opted out of adding the cheese. Cheese if wonderful, indulgent, amazing and delicious. Cheese is also the devil and I am doing my best to limit if not eliminate it from my life. I also think I might need to add more salt next time. I use sea salt, which isn't as salty. Aunt Shula, I think you would especially like this one. You are going to want to add more mushrooms and probably opt in the cheese. There is cottage cheese in the sauce mixture. Do not let this scare you away from this fabulous meal. When it is mixed with everything else, it creates a delicious, creamy goodness that is also full of protein, calcium and is low fat! Bon Appetit!
