This dish was a bit deceiving - as I did not taste any sort of cheese flavor whatsoever! What it did taste and smell like, however, was chicken noodle soup. A little odd, but I can't say I didn't enjoy it, because I actually thought it was pretty good. The noodles had the consistency of baked macaroni and cheese sitting in an oven all day, except for a few noodles that were either too hard or fell apart. The sauce covering the noodles was creamy and thick, which I liked. Overall, a good dish, but wont satisfy a macaroni and cheese craving from me.
