  1. Oh, wow! This was so incredibly delicious! We stuffed ourselves on it--we just couldn't resist another bite and then another and another. It tastes like a cross between spinach dip and artichoke dip--with noodles and lots of cheese. The only changes I made were to emit the salt, use half & half instead of heavy cream, finely chop the onions instead of grating them, and replace the butter with more olive oil. This is definitely a keeper! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Charmie777!! Update: We've tried this now using lowfat evaporated milk instead of cream, and it was still wonderful--and less guilt-ridden, too! Thanks again!
     
  2. I don't really care for artichokes but I really liked this. Yum!
     
  3. Delicious! Substituted bacon for the prosciutto and half and half for the heavy cream.
     
  4. This was certainly very easy to put together! I made this exactly as posted, using romano cheese. However, I still thought it could have used a little something more. In reheating it, I added some sliced grilled chicken. Made for ZWT6.
     
  5. Easy to make and fabulous-tasting, we loved this pasta! The winning combination of ingredients in this dish is really scrumptious. Rich but worth the calories on special occasions or just because ~ Sometimes you've gotta splurge and I'd recommmend splurging with this recipe!

  1. Delicious! Substituted bacon for the prosciutto and half and half for the heavy cream.
     
  2. This was fabulous. I made a few changes based on what I had. I followed another reviewer's suggestion and used evaporated milk instead of heavy cream. I also didn't have artichokes so I chopped a red bell pepper and added it along with the garlic and onion. I used fresh spinach instead of frozen because I had some I wanted to use up. I love that if I used the evaporated milk and dried tortellini this could be a pantry meal with veggies, that tastes great.
     
  3. This is very good. In general, I do not care for Rachael Ray or her recipes... but looking at the recipe, I felt like I had to move past my distaste and just do it... I'm glad I did! I used whole milk instead of cream so I'm sure it wasn't AS good, but one can't have it all :)
     
  4. Really enjoyed this recipe. As we normally do we substituted yogurt for the cream. Like the flavours & ingredient combination. Thanks for sharing.
     
  5. I used soy milk instead of cream, a half pack of cream cheese instead of parm, used a quarter cup of flour and added a chicken breast. This was fabulous.
