This dish is embarrassingly easy (there's pretty much three ingredients) but it's one of my all time favorites so I had to post it. It utilizes Miracle Noodles which are the gluten free chef's best friend. The noodles are easy to prepare(can you say microwave??), tasty, and gluten-free. Did I mention they have zero calories?? You can find the noodles on Amazon or in health food stores (There are also shirataki noodles that are similar in nature but I prefer the flavor of Miracle Noodles). It's worth finding them to create this cheesy and creamy creation!
