  1. I used fat free half&half since I could not find light cream in the store. At first I thought the sauce in the pan was way to liquidy so I kept boiling/reducing. It turns out that reducing is not needed (it reduced while broiling). I love this dish and will make again and again (when I'm cheating calorie/fat-wise)
     
  2. This sauce is super-delicious! And the walnuts end up perfectly toasted. We had it with fresh sliced pears on the side. It's be worth trying with pumpkin ravioli/tortellini too; would go well with the cheese and walnuts. Thanks!
     
  3. Great recipe.. next time I'll scale back to half the amount of butter.. it didn't need all of it in my opinion.. thanks for posting!
     
  4. This is excellent as written. I've also jazzed it up with a handful of frozen peas before broiling. It is also good with a small chopped onion sauteed in some olive oil. For those with tree nut allergies, substitute pine "nuts".

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
