I really loved this! I used others' suggestions: I did 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/2 cup oil, did 3/4 cup splenda, 1 cup sugar (I think), only added a few shakes of nutmeg b/c I thought it'd be overpowering, and sprinkled brown sugar on the top. Yummy!!! I had to bake longer since I did in two loaves and they were deeper than a 9x13 pan. Thanks for a great recipe!!

Okay....I am giving this 5 stars b/c I think the flavor is phenomenal but I did alter it a bit so maybe I should give it 4. Here's what I did: 1) I used a variety of pasta to use up what I had, it was still yummy 2) Roux- added more flour & a little less salt 3) Increased chicken broth to 1 1/2 cups (homemade), 1 cup skim milk + 1/2-1 cup (not sure exactly) evaporated milk in place of heavy cream, increased to 3 T sherry 4) Sauteed fresh mushrooms w/ garlic, onion, and olive oil 5) Mixed mushroom mixture, with rotisserie chicken, noodles, tossed in a little extra fresh asiago cheese... I was so excited for supper b/c it smelled and tasted phenomenal and super creamy.... Then I put in oven... Here's my biggest tip. It got a LOT drier once I baked it (and I even covered it after I saw that it was). It was still good but I was disappointed b/c the texture was PERFECT in the skillet. Soooo I would say if you are going to bake it, make more sauce and add more liquid. OR just eat it fresh from the skillet- that's how I'm making it next time. It was awesome that way. The oven dried it out a lot...and I prefer it creamier. But that's just me. A 5 for flavor for sure!!!!!!!!! Thanks for an awesome base recipe. :)

I thought this was great, very similar to the fruit pizza recipe I used to make, but fabulous. Since I was taking it to a gathering, I thought it less messy to make "tarts" out of it. I used mini tart muffin wrappers and sprayed with non-stick spray. I put a little glop of the crust mixture in the bottom and baked until done. I then put the next layer mixture on top (I added some vanilla pudding mix and used a little less sugar....I only had the dark vanilla so it got kinda dark and I wanted to lighten it up, hence the pudding mix- which actually tasted really yummy). I then cut up tiny pieces of fruit (kiwi, strawberries, raspberries, mandarin oranges) and put on each little tart. It was super handy and bite size, thus eliminating the mess. It worked out so nicely that it's going to be how I always make my fruit pizza now, much less mess!
