I would love to have given this recipe a 4 or 5, because it's very good, and pretty easy to make. However, I followed the recipe exactly, and found 2 problems: 1) way too many noodles for the amount of sauce; 2) the lemon juice curdled the milk/egg mixture. I recommend using 1/2 the amount of noodles shown, and omit the lemon juice, or perhaps add it to the noodles before tossing with the sauce. Excellent recipe in terms of flavor and ease of preparation, good work kelly 123.
