  1. My children are picky eaters, but love the Chicken Mezzaluna at Carrraba's. They both gave this recipe a "two thumbs up!" I reduced the proportions of half&half b/c the fat content is very high, and will continue to work at reducing that on future attempts. All in all, this is VERY close to the restaurant version. Thank you!!
     
  2. My fiance had the Chicken Mezzaluna at Carabba's and fell in love with it, so I had to look for a copycat recipe. I wasn't brave enough to try to make my own raviolis, so I stuffed the filling into manicotti shells and poured the sauce over the top. I followed the directions given in another recipe for using uncooked shells (400 degrees for 40 minutes), but the shells were not done. Oh, well, I will just have to try it again. My fiance still raved about it, he said it tasted awesome, and I agreed!
