Loved this. The second time i made this, I did end up using a combination of Romano and parmesan, and used a bit more than called for.

No! This didn't seem right at all. No sure what I did wrong but no matter how much cornstarch I added it was super runny. Had a problem with the milk too-doesn't say how much?

Just a question really. I noticed that the directions call for milk, but none is mentioned in the ingredient list. How much is needed (if any)?

This is soo good! I diced and sauteed some boneless chicken breasts, and served the sauce over fetticini and cooked chicken. I heated up some freezer section garlic breadsticks and really felt like I was eating at Olive Garden. I only used 4 0z of the cream cheese but increased the amount of grated parmesan. A definite new "go to" recipe. Even my picky children and husband oohed and awed.

This tasted just like the Olive Garden however, like others said it was a bit thin, added more cheese and it was fabulous. I found it a tiny bit gritty when reheated. It also separates as it is reheated but can be whisked back to a good consistency, and the flavor the next day is outstanding as well.
