Altered ingredient amounts. I used macaroni instead. - 14 Jul 2009
This was delicious and healthy thanks! The required 450g of chicken stock was a little confusing so, for the record, I mixed 1 tblspn of stock powder into 1 cup boiled water and added the cornflour to that. I also stirred in a cup of grated tasty cheese to melt throughout the pasta before serving. Yum! - 14 Jul 2009
