Baked Fruit Noodle Delight

1Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

2Cook the noodles (8 oz) according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3In a saucepan, melt the butter (¼ cup) over medium heat. Add the flour (½ cup) and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.

4Gradually whisk in the milk (½ cup) until smooth and thickened to make a white sauce.

5Stir in the shredded cheese (½ cup) until melted and creamy. Set aside the cheese sauce.

6In a separate bowl, mix the strawberries, pineapple, and sugar (½ cup). Let it sit for 10 minutes to macerate and release juices.

7Combine the cooked noodles (8 oz) with the fruit mixture and transfer to a baking dish.

8Pour the cheese sauce over the noodles (8 oz) and fruit, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

9Sprinkle breadcrumbs (¼ cup) on top for a crunchy texture and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbly.

10Serve the Baked Fruit Noodle Delight hot and enjoy the sweet and savory flavors!
