Lali this is indeed a winner.I cooked it Saturday night and I cut the recipe back to one serving it worked beautifully. Also I added more garlic (i'm a garlic freak) and it was just delicious. Thank-you Bergy -
I followed this exactly except I did not add the bacon. It was so flavorful and wonderful! I was so surprised that something so simple turned out so good! Loved the sauce. Lots of flavor. Very easy and loved the results! -
I had to make this with chicken, but the sauce was amazing. I am sure it's the bacon. -
Forgot the bacon until after I had already sauteed the onions, but it still worked out great. Awesome recipe. -
This is by far one of the best recipes I have ever made. I used chicken instead of veal b/c I couldn't find veal cutlets at our supermarket. This was better than any restaurant veal parmesan I have eaten.
