We really like this recipe. I did increase the amount of whipping cream & parmesan cheese so that there was more sauce. I think that the butter amount can be cut down & I didn't put the cayenne pepper in either.

I guess we liked this recipe. It only served two instead of the 4 called for. LOL.

I will add mushrooms next time.

One of my all time favorite recipes. I love to serve this meal to friends, with the Carrot Coins with Thyme recipe and warm bread. I get requests for the recipe every time. LOVE it!

This TRULY is a flavorful dish that is so simple to make during the week. I also add a bit more garlic and use whole wheat pasta. My husband loves this dish as well.

Delicious & easy recipe! I added a bit more garlic and sauted 8 oz. sliced mushrooms with the garlic. Special flavor with week-night ease!
