This is a great recipe. A friend made this for us a few years ago, after tasting it I had to have the recipe. It is really tasty. I have served it for family meals and parties over 20 people, with rave reviews. Easy too. We don't eat a lot of pasta and if I had been searching for a pasta recipe this most likely would not be something I would of chosen, I like cream sauces. I'm glad my friend served it or I would of missed out.

This was good. Full of flavor. I didn't have any parsley like I thought I did and I didn't have any Parmesan cheese either. It was still good I had it with your Recipe #305693. It was a great combination.. I will be making this again.. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for PAC Fall '08.

I work full time. I am married and I have 2 children. Every week I plan a menu and a grocery list for the upcoming week. I enjoy cooking, especially trying new recipies. Right now, I am looking for recipies to use fresh herbs from my garden. Like Oregano, Basil, Dill, Parsley and Rosemary. My mother is the one who introduced me to this site. It looks interesting!
