Omg! This is delish. On the first batch, I used canned green beans instead of peas, increased the noodles to 3oz per serving (12oz total), and used fat free cheese (for cheesiness! YUM).
On the second batch I didn’t care for the bread crumbs, so I took them out and increased the noodles to 4oz per serving and weighed the green beans, so each serving had 4oz.
