Yield: 6 servings
Comments: 3/26/2020 - Done during the coronavirus pandemic, so I substituted 2 cups of rice
for the noodles. I wanted less than six servings so I used 1/2 to 2/3 of each ingredient. I used
a 2-quart casserole dish. I still got maybe 8 servings.
11/14/2020 - Again I made less than a full recipe, but it filled our largest
casserole dish. Here’re my quantities: 4 cups noodles, 1 1/2 cup broth,
3/4 cup milk, 1 1/2 cup peas, 3/4 cup bread crumbs, and 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese.
Everything else was as given in the recipe.
10/9/2024 -I made a full recipe and baked it in the 9x12 casserole dish
that has a cover. I used 6 cups of dry egg noodles, which became 7 1/2 cups cooked.
Preparations kept me busy from the beginning until nearly the end. I was able
to prepare a green salad while it baked.
