Notes & Wine Advice
The goat cheese in this recipe is not meant to be melted smoothly throughout the sauce. Some of the crumbles melt and others will surprise you when you take a bite of this casserole. This casserole is hearty enough for a main dish but can also be served as a side dish to your favorite main course.
