It was a very delicious dish, I substituted zucchini for the cauliflower and added extra spices as suggested by other posts and yes I will make this again!

I agree that the recipe definitely needs more flavor, but that's an easy fix with a few pinches of dried herbs and spices! The cooking time was perfect as were the amounts of the ingredients (aside from the seasoning). My daughter is actually the one who made the recipe for us (she's 10) so it was a fun lesson for her to understand what to do if the recipe needed a little extra flavor. I make a garlic chicken that sometimes we have leftover meat from that I think would work great in this recipe (so if you are using leftover chicken, a spicy/flavorful chicken is the way to go).

This was basically a good recipe, but we added more spices: oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika. Other changes: whole wheat ziti instead of noodles (must be cooked longer), and we added Swiss cheese (recommend shredded.) Our cooked chicken breast was salty, but reduced-salt broth seemed to balance that.

This recipe was delicious! It was a big hit in my home. I added a pinch of salt and some crushed hot pepper flakes for some heat. Yummmm.

This was ok but didn't have a lot of flavor. Everyone ate it, but the next time I would add more spices. :)
