Hi: I tried this recipe also. It is very good. Unfortunately I overcooked the sauce and it curdled. Still tasted good but wasn't as pretty as the picture. Also, I used Italian seasoned bread crumbs and just milk as I did not have cream on hand. This is a definite keeper and will do better next time with not overcooking the sauce. Thanks for posting.
