  1. This was really good! I added cooked bacon and 2 T fresh basil. I topped my dish with shredded Parmesan rather than grated, and it formed a really nice crust. I had no need to double the sauce as a reviewer suggested--using 8 oz, or half a box of spaghetti--was the perfect amount. I wouldn't bother to buy parsley next time; I didn't think it added anything. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
     
  2. Well received by all four kids, ages 11-9 months. Made super easy by using rotisserie chicken. We were heavy on the garlic and added an extra splash of wine.
     
  3. I had plenty of chicken leftover from recipe #33671 (highly recommended recipe, btw) and was looking for something to make that wasn't "pot pie". I had reservations about making this for my family as this is outside the norm for them. Well, with a few minor modifications (without changing the recipe entirely), it was a real crowd pleaser.<br/>I read the reviews indicating that the finished dish was dry. I too found that after making the sauce that it was a bit thick (even without putting it in the oven). So, I did increase the liquid significantly. I didn't have wine (def try that addition next time). <br/>I ended up doubling the garlic, I really think it needed it and also added more lemon juice to brighten the flavor. This was all after I follwed the recipe and tasted the finished sauce. I didn't do the final baking step (felt it was fine without, they were hungry too). By the time the pasta had cooked, the sauce seemed to have thickened up a bit again, so I added a ladle of hot pasta water (before draining) and it was perfect! Used Angel Hair Pasta, btw.<br/>I was met with initial strange looks for serving this, but I'm happy to report that they loved it. We will be serving this again as my husband said "Make sure you keep that recipe!" :0)<br/>Served with http://www.food.com/recipe/snap-peas-in-brown-butter-396620
     
  4. Delish! DH went back for seconds, which is a true compliment. Easy and quick to put together. Served with green beans and roasted red peppers. Thanks for sharing
     
  5. We really enjoyed this. Based on other reviews, I increased the liquid a bit, using 1/2 cup each of whole milk and cream, instead of 1/2 cup of half & half. I also topped with some crumbled bacon. This is a nice easy recipe for a weeknight dinner with a green salad, and is easy enough to get the kids helping with the preparation.

  2. I'm amazed that anyone would call this dish "bland", it wasn't. I substituted the butter with a low fat margarine and next time I will do the same with the sour cream; Only because my wife and I are diabetic and need to count calories, fat and carbs. I used a carb friendly spaghetti (Dreamfields angel hair spaghetti) It worked GREAT! Other than that I cooked it as posted and we both loved it. I definate addition to our favorite dinner dishes. I recommend mixing all the ingredients that are added to the flour butter mixture prior to turning on the stove. I believe this is one of those recipes when you want all ingredients cooked or other wise to come together all at once. Pan fry the chicken. mmm good!
     
  3. I don't know if I did something wrong, but my husband and I thought this was really dry. It could have been because I used fat free half and half and sour cream, as well as Smart Balance instead of butter. It probably would have been better if it wasn't baked, though. I thought it tasted good with some crushed red pepper added, but my husband said that he found it to be way too bland as well, which is a rare thing for him to say. So, not 5 stars in my opinion, but it's not bad for a quick meal.
     
  4. I loved it! I used bow-tie pasta instead of spaghetti. I used lemon pepper instead of lemon juice, since I had no lemons on hand.
     
  5. This is Delicious! I, too doubled the sauce as other reviewers had suggested, and mixed the paprika in with the sauce for color and added flavor. I used 1 1/2 cups parmesan, four garlic cloves, a heaping teaspoon of dry mustard, sherry cooking wine and a full pint of heavy cream. I also used linguine instead of spaghetti. Next time I think I will add some red pepper flakes to add a little bite. Thanks a bunch for a great recipe!
