So happy you enjoyed it!
Alex says
Oh.My.God.
Why are all the best dishes the simplest to make!? I subbed fresh ravioli for frozen tortellini (all I had on hand) firm-cooked according to package directions), halved the amount of lemon juice, and added a pinch of garlic powder. My husband and I just stared at each other in silence the whole time we ate. Cannot believe how easy this was to make because it seriously tasted like a fine-dining entree! Thank you so much for sharing!!

Jill says
Made this tonight and the whole family loved it. Delicious! My only question is if I should have used salted butter? I didn’t add any salt at all and I’m wondering if that would make it just salty enough or if it would ruin it?
April says
Hi Jill! I’m so glad you liked it 🙂 So, I use unsalted butter in this one (updated the recipe so it says that!) – I find with the Parmesan cheese, which is salty, extra salt isn’t really necessary. Hope that helps!
Carol L Callender says
I used this for a lunch time get together with some of my girl friends. Very creative but easy. It was delicious and made me look like I know what I am doing in the kitchen. Thanks!!!
Shilpa says
