Great recipe-shared with guests today! Made some changes: used salt substitute instead of salt, inc. cheese to 2 cups (to use pkg), and used fresh garlic. Mixed ingredients for sauce as others have advised. Please beware that salt from the original recipe is not counted in the sodium info listed. - 12/30/12
