I should have got back about this recipe much sooner. Sorry about that ;=(

 

It looks absolutely delicious, Linda - and I'll bet it really is a family

favourite.

But 2 tablespoons of butter and - gasp - one cup of whipping cream???????

Plus the Romano cheese of course. My poor arteries - you can hear them

hardening from way over where you are in anticipation - and my liver just had

a fainting fit LOL (That's me laughing, not my liver: she's still out cold.)

 

Now let's see: 2 Tbps butter plus the cup of whipping cream (it's the cream,

the cream!) equals around 820 calories AND 110 g of fat. And the cholesterol!

Whoooooeeeee! I'm not even gonna count the 2/3 cup or more of Romano

cheese. Sorry, hun, but that doesn't quite cut if for low-fat cooking ;=) My dh

and I are going to have to go back to the tsp of olive oil and squeeze of lemon!

 

Sure sounds good though!!!! ;=) Sigghhhhhhh.

 

Best love,

Pat :=)
