Description

This creamy noodle casserole is an absolute highlight! I really like making it because it's so quick and easy. The combination of noodles, fresh vegetables and a creamy sauce is simply unbeatable. I especially like the cherry tomatoes, which become nice and sweet when baked. The casserole is perfect for a quick lunch or a cozy dinner with friends. And the best thing: it's vegetarian and can be prepared easily! If you like, you can of course add other vegetables. A really great dish that is always well received by us!
