- I often add cooked shrimp or meatballs (the Italian baked ones from this site are excellent). But bacon or sausage is also good.

By cream do you mean heavy cream or light cream or neither of those :) ?

Wow.. this was delicious. I used fresh garlic and sun dried tomatoes... crushed red pepper.. . and thinned it out with a little chicken broth. This recipe has many possibilities. It got rave reviews from my company. They licked their plates. -
I served this over a wild mushroom ravioli and it was fabulous! Thanks for a great recipe. -
I printed this recipe on February 25, 2012 and just finally got around to making it tonight. I put it with angel hair pasta and broccoli and it was delicious. Super easy to make and then the taste was just perfect. It was lighter than alfredo and had a nice zing to it. Loved it. <br/>Next time will pair with a grilled chicken breast, probably marinated in italian dressing... -
Great for nights when you need to get dinner on the table quick! Love the tastes in this pasta dish!! -

I am a retired nurse/nursing professor. I?ve been married to a great guy for 48 years. I love to garden and grow my own vegetables and flowers. I home can and freeze foods extensively. I?ve always had a love of cooking, but now it?s just the two of us, so I need to learn to cook in smaller quantities. I?ve always worked full time and often with a sideline part time job as well so I?m used to cooking double and freezing half for later. I don?t have to do that anymore and it?s been an adjustment. With the Covid pandemic we rarely eat out so this website has been a real blessing!?
