"I saw this on Better Homes & Gardens TV show, then in a magazine. It's become a family favorite - so light and yet so tasty! The "sauce" freezes well and reheats easily."

  1. This was a nice light tasty dinner my whole family enjoyed. I did use the sharp cheddar crumbles and added extra bacon and garlic. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  2. Simply delicious. I had been given a mushroom called Puff Ball, so I used it in this dish. I had never had this kind of mushroom and I found it got lost in this recipe. Too mild to stand up to the onion/bacon. I will use a portabella next time. Made for PAC Fall '07. :)
     
  3. SO GOOD! This made a wonderful light late night supper. Very easy with ingredients we had on hand and everyone loved it. I used Spinach Tagliatelle pasta and it was also nice and colorful! Thank you for posting. PAC-Fall07
