Oops, did I screw up this dish?

[devotchka]

I just threw together a pasta casserole a la mac and cheese but healthier - it's baking now - I put in:

sauteed spinach
sauteed green beans
w garlic
cooked whole wheat rotini noodles
half and half (store was out of org cream)
parmesan
romano
mozarella
salt + pepper
bread crumbs + parm on top

When I went to look at how long I should bake it for via pinterest mac+cheese recipes (since it has similar components), I encountered a problem - every mac and cheese recipe calls for eggs. Oops - should I have put some in? Is it going to be runny and gross? I just figured it would be my pasta w/ cream sauce but baked and w/ more cheese. Did I create A MONSTER?!

I have never put eggs in mine! It should be fine

If you just used half and half and didn't make a roux, it may be runny. Not sure. I never use eggs in my Mac and cheese though.

DAMN YOU, ROUX!

I don't even make one when I make a sauce , it seems like the starch from the noodles makes it thick enough or something. I need to re-learn how to cook apparently

LOL!! Roux can be a PITA when all you want to do is pour in some cream, but I've found it really does make a difference to the thickness.

I'm sure it will turn out ok! It will taste good, at least

Thanks! It came out of the oven looking not-runny and smelling divine - hope it tastes good tomorrow!
