This is really good recipe! My sister in law sent it to me but said her and her husband were not too impressed and thought maybe it was the nutmeg. I prepared it pretty much the same with a few changes. I did not have dry vermouth on hand so I used Cooking Sherry istead. I love just about any dish with cooking sherry! I doubled the garlic because we love garlic, and I used 1/2 tsp of nutmeg because of my sister in laws review. I also doubled the lemon juice. I served it over cheese tortelleni like one other user reviewed.. and it was great! My hubby said it was better than Olive Garden! Great Recipe! I will make it again!

    I was looking for something different to make, and this was perfect. Everybody loved it. Instead of the heavy cream, I made a thin white sauce out of a little bit of butter, milk and flour and then mixed it with the pan scrapings. This allowed me to cut back on the cheese a little as well. I also used white wine and it worked out just fine. The nutmeg and the lemon juice really gave this a complex flavor. The whole family enjoyed it with egg noodles. Thanks so much for a wonderful recipe!

    WOW!!! Thank you for making me a star in my kitchen last nite!! Very good, easy recipe that tastes like you've spent hours making it. I took the tip on using dry white wine (no vermouth on hand, either) and it worked wonderfully. I served it over cheese tortellini, and it was an excellent meal. I'll definately be making this one again and again! Thank you!

    This is a great resturant class meal. Very tasty and easy to make. I substituted the vermouth for a cup of white wine and used less parmasan cheese but made up the quantity difference with Tasty chedder. It was a huge hit with the family! I highly recommend this dish. For food of this quality you could pay an arm and a leg at any resturant here in NZ.
