I've made this recipe a couple times now and have to say its very good. If anyone is planning on making this I have a few tips.
Personally I think its better and goes further with some extra noodles, so I do 3 1/2 cups of noodles instead of 2 1/2 and then add one extra cup of chicken broth.
When you add the noodles and broth and let it simmer, its good to have a little extra broth around on the bottom because when you add the cheeses they soak it up and if you dont have any broth to begin with your dish will come out really dry.
Also, a third garlic clove is a welcome addition.
With the extra noodles this is going to make 4 large servings so its great to split with a friend or have throughout the week. Highly recommend

Cooked it yesterday and it was absolutely amazing, Greetz from Germany ;)

[HelloKindWorld]

I made this and it's absolutely delicious, only thing is you do need to boil the pasta for a bit separately then add it. Doing it they way they showed causes it to be undercooked in spots which is very unpleasant.
