My complete family likes it! i like how smooth it's far to throw together and that calls for minimum cleaning. It rings a bell in my memory of Chicken Alfredo Recipe Meatball Subs and Easy Zucchini Rollatini that my mother continually made but it uses quinoa and is made at the range, no longer within the oven.
