Quick, Easy, Tasty!!
OK, I knew I needed to add garlic or else I wouldn't like it. So I sauteed 1 tsp. of garlic in a very small pat of butter (could use olive oil, I used 4 triangles of cheese, 1/4c. sour cream (I misread it at first, and on hand I had the real sour cream, 3 Tbsp. of parmesan, 1/4 tsp salt (maybe more, 1/4 tsp pepper (maybe more, a little milk to thin if needed. Heated some cooked chicken I had in freezer and it was quick, easy, and tasty!!! I will try the fat free sour cream next time. I used this on regular noodles because I can't find the tofu noodles here. My family liked this and I thought it was pretty tasty!.

The noodles: some bites rubbery when chewed, other bites were just fine. Could be noodles were not cooked evenly in the microwave. More frequent stirring could help.
The sauce: Smelled like fettucine alfredo. Tasted a little bland, but fixable with a tiny bit more salt and lots of black pepper.
Difficulty in cooking: None, especially because I used the microwave for the whole thing!
Bottom of the Plate: Yep, I saw it! If you want a quick (we're talking minutes fettuccine alfredo fix and don't want to feel bad about eating it, this is a decent substitute--but don't kid yourself into thinking it will taste as good as the real thing. I added frozen broccoli that I steamed using the microwave. I really liked the fact that I did it all using the microwave. A good dish to make on those hot summer days with no air conditioning. I would make this again. Try it once even just to experiment.
HH Hippo's Tip: To be green, I used flour sack towels to dry the noodles instead of paper towels.

This recipe was terrible, bland and flavorless. The sauce concept I think can be doctored to have more flavor without adding too many calories, but those "noodles" will not enter my home again.
