Comments: 10/26/2015 - In place of spaghetti, I used 2 cups of rotini and 2/3 cup of elbows; in place of turkey, chicken breast; and, substituted a cup of bouillon for one of the three cups of chicken broth. It took a very long time for the broth, milk, flour, and butter mixture to come to a boil; I gave up before it was fully boiling. The pasta and sauce mixture overflowed our largest caserole dish, and I tossed out some of the liquid. I added a small amount of cheddar to the Parmesan topping the caserole and baked it for 50 minutes.
