I made this recipe last night for my family and an Uncle whose visiting us from Hercules,CA hoping to impress them. I'm not really a cook but I try some recipes when I watch the food channel. It was a quick and easy recipe but it was just very dry, flavorless and just embarassing. So, we tried to fix it by adding olive oil and some salt. Still, dry and bland. Had a lot of leftover, so I tried to doctor it with something and found a cream of mushroom soup and poured over the noodles. The taste was acceptable but I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was very dry, probably because of the massive amount of breadcrumbs. They just stick to all the noodles giving them a weird texture. Maybe try some of the doctored up recipes listed below, but the straight up recipe is not great. It doesn't necessarily taste BAD... but it's not good. Sorry :(

I tried this with my boyfriend hopping for a nice romantic meal for the two of us. i thought the dish seem like something new and interesting for us to try. At first we were both a little questionable about using the orange and the chicken broth but we decided to try out anyway. When we finally finished everything to exactly how the recipe follows, we just both looked at each other with grotesque. At first it didn't taste good, it looked horrible, and all the flavors in the dish just did not mix well together. I would not advice anyone to ever try this. it's just plain awful and a big waste of money.
