With its rich-tasting sauce made of sour cream and cheesy topping, this creamy Italian specialty will easily become a family favorite. Its large yield is perfect for planning leftovers or for serving a crowd. The tarragon vinegar infuses a nice herbal note into the sautéed vegetables. Look for it on the condiment aisle alongside the other vinegar varieties at your supermarket. If you can’t find it, feel free to use white wine vinegar instead. We’ve used egg noodles here, but spaghetti noodles will work too. Pair this comforting casserole with a garden salad dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette to complete the meal.
