Sicilian Supper - more comfort food from my youth! - Harborwitch - 02-19-2008
Okay here's another one from my youth. It was a major family favorite and I'd made it for Bob and his Mom a couple of times. Through all of the moves I lost the recipe card but ya gotta love Google!!!
Thought I'd share this with you - it's such a simple dish, and just so satisfying. (wish I had a plate of it right now!)

1 tbsp Butter
1 pkg Cream cheese (8 oz), cubed
3/4 cup Milk
1/3 cup Grated parmesan cheese

2 cups Noodles, cooked, drained (4 oz)

Great! Now I'll need to find a baking dish with yet ANOTHER size!
Nah! I'll just adapt this to 8x8. Sounds delicious, though.

8 x 8 works perfectly!!! And it is delicious.

OK, I'm beginning to accept I'm either mentally challenged or CRS is taking over my brain. But could you please explain this a little more?

I'm picturing rows of noodles alternated with rows of meat mixture...all in one layer. Or are you talking about alternating layers?

Sharon, this looks delightful! I am going to have to try it. But, I too need more explanation for the 'crosswise rows' part.
I may just make this, this week! I am trying not to cook, since we are 'on vacation', but this may be a hard one to resist. I think my family would LOVE this. Thanks for sharing.

does sound like good old fashioned comfort food!

Spoon a row of meat across the width of the pan, next a row of noodles, etc. We usually end up with 2 rows of each.

Sounds delish! My mom made something similar when I was growing up. Still one of my favorite comfort foods. I'll have to be trying this one for sure. Thanks Sharon!
