This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

ingredients
8 ounces pasta or noodles
1/4 cup margarine
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups skim milk
3 cups shredded low fat cheddar cheese
2 cups diced cooked chicken
1/4 cup cornflake crumbs
directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
Add the margarine to a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until it melts. Stir in the flour and salt until the flour is dissolved.
Whisk in the milk until incorporated. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and comes to a simmer.
Stir in the cheese and continue to stir until it melts.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles, cheese sauce, and diced chicken. Mix well to coat the noodles and chicken with the sauce.
Pour the chicken mixture into a 3-quart baking dish.
Sprinkle the cornflake crumbs evenly over the top of the chicken mixture. Place the dish in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until heated through.
Serve immediately.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

This was a good base recipe. I added more noodles(about 12 oz) and more chicken than the recipe called for - I also added frozen peas but I would think broccoli would be good too. I also think next time I'm gonna substitute ham for the chicken. Overall though it was a very quick and easy recipe.

The amount of cheese sauce really was more than needed for the amount of chicken/pasta called for. We used more chicken to balance it out. You can use bread crumbs instead of cornflakes as a topper as well. Overall, good but lacking a little flavor. We also don't recommend using fat free cheese (or cheap brands of low fat cheese) due to the poor melting qualities.
