I make this dish all the time, it is my favorite. I always added extra asiago at Macaroni Grill, so a little extra makes it just a little bit better.

True to the original! I couldn't find pancetta here so I substituted proscuitto. Tasted similar and wonderful. Makes a HUGE amount! More than 4-5 servings!

I thought it was too bland, I would not add the second amount of cream to deglaze the pan, not necessary.

I've never had this at Macaroni Grill (not my favorite Italian restaurant here), but this is good. I'd give it 5 stars except my husband and company felt it was a little bland. We added hot pepper flakes , more slat and pepper and everyone was much happier.

This is AWESOME! My favorite at MacGrill and it is just like it. I like to add more chicken and a word to the wise watch your cream it will boil over before you know it is bubbling at all. Made it twice and boiled over both times. I also had trouble finding asiago (go figure) and works fine with a mixture of fresh parmesan, romano, and/or asiago.
