The weather is starting to turn and I immediately thought comfort food sounded good. I have had this recipe for five years and have never tried it. I picked a great night and it really hit the spot. I splurged on fancy pasta imported from Italy and it was delicious. I have to admit, the fresh cut herbs (parsley & chives) were amazing and I probably could've used even more than recommended. I also picked the onions straight from the pot on the deck and used them - so great.
Things I learned from this recipe:
Read the directions a little more carefully. I didn't pre-melt the butter and it probably would've made the top a little more delicious.
In the comments about the recipe (online) there was an interesting point about this dish being incredibly unhealthy. While I did use turkey bacon instead of pork there was a lot of cheese used, and I liked the note about using olive oil instead of butter.
Would I make this recipe again?
Definitely
