Poppy Seed Noodles n' Cream

 We like almost any noodle dish, and we liked this pretty, tasty side dish from Land O'Lakes Treasury of Country Recipes 1992.  I confess, yesterday was “noodle day” at our house, so I used homemade extra wide noodles instead of store-bought dry ones.  This is my kind of dish - quick, easy and so good.

I served this with baked cod fillets and broccoli and onions au gratin.  It would be equally delicious with ham, pork chops or roast or beef, like Myrna's meatloaf.
