We loved this. But we doubles the noodles and it was still saucy enough!

Very good and quick recipe. I made it as instructed, but didn't add all the peas and used additional milk to thin the sauce after it was all mixed together. I used whole wheat pasta. I'll definitely be preparing it again and will probably add mushrooms and onion.
