I hope you enjoyed your time in Germany!
What a great question. And there is no easy answer. but if you’re up for a little experimentation, I can offer some suggestions. I suggest you begin experimentation by using bread crumbs as a substitute. The bread crumbs can act as a binder, too.
Once the cooked noodles are in the casserole dish, sprinkle them with 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, pour the cream mixture over the noodles, add ham (pancetta is a great idea, too!), and topp with the cheese. I could imagine that it might add some interesting texture. Another option that might work is to blend some quick-cooking oats into crumbs and use those instead of the bread crumbs. Please me know how it worked out for you. If not, I’ll put my thinking cap back on. 🙂

I lived in Germany and I began making it here. The way my stepmother made it was with pancetta and German egg noodles. But yes, it is an incredibly easy and delicious meal. I do have a question. I use heavy cream and butter only because we have egg allergies in our household. However, it still kind of of dries out.. or more like over cooks no matter what I do because it is missing the binding ingredient I guess. So would you recommend more heavy cream? Or any other ideas that can help?
