This was one of my favorite dishes from Johnny Garlics in Santa Rosa, Ca. I moved away 6 years ago, and still CRAVE JG's food. I was so happy to see a lot of the recipes from the restaurant on foodnetwork. I tried this one and it was amazing! I also used only 1 cup of BBQ sauce and cut the cream a little. Topped with tons of fresh roma tomatoes and viola! A top 5 in my house. Thanks Guy!
8/14/12--- This is a favorite in my house. I make lots of the bbq sauce and freeze it. This is a very quick and easy dish to whip up. However, we are watching our weight around here these days so on top of only having this dish once a month or less, I have started using HALF & HALF instead of heavy cream. I use a little pasta water to thicken it, or a little cornstarch slurry if needed (the parm is sometimes enough to thicken it. It is still fantastic! My husband says he even prefers it, because its not so heavy. It is still an indulgence, but cuts out over 1000
calories for the entire recipe!

Love the flavors here! I kick it down a notch and "only" add the chipotles, no red pepper or cayenne and it's still pretty spicy. Fantastic recipe!
