I adapted this dish from a recipe using potatoes instead of noodles. It could also be made with almost any other pasta. I first tried it as a result of being exhausted after peeling and slicing so many potatoes. Too much work and I'm trying to simplify. I was very pleasantly surprised at the yummy results. I think you will be too. Give it a try!
