I've made this recipe lots of times, it's always a hit. This time I did change it up a little because of what I had at home. Instead of the crushed tomato, I used canned Marinara sauce from Trader Joes. I changed the ratio of heavy cream and tomato sauce...I used 1 1/2 cups of each. The result was more tomato flavor without sacrificing the creaminess of the dish. I substitute the shredded 4 cheese Italian blend and omit the Gorgonzola if I'm in a rush (and don't have all the cheeses on hand. This is a great potluck dish that always disappears quickly. As with all Ina's recipes, they're easy to make and delicious. Thanks!

As the same with others, I omitted the gorgonzola only because it can be overpowering and some people dislike it. I added more fontina which melts beautifully. I also baked it in a large casserole dish and topped it with seasoned, buttered panko crumbs.

This woman can flat out cook! I get so excited to make Ina's dishes and all of them are always a hit. This recipe was so rich and delicious, I had to sneak and make it again when the hubby and kids weren’t home to truly devour. Sinful just is not the word! Enjoy with a nice crisp glass of chardonnay and the world stops ever so slightly. Love ya Ina.

Oh my!! It was bubbly and warm and cheesy,. I added some zucchini and mushrooms that I had to use or lose and it made a meal. Little crusty bread on the side topped it all off nicely.

So yummy and very rich! Serve with a nice light salad. This is a special occasion dish- too heavy to eat all the time!

this recipe is amazing! Will be making again for certain. Everyone raved about it, yet it was so simple.

I made this for the second time. The two times I did make it both parties said about the same thing. It was very rich but good. One thing I would change. I served mine with a nice garlic bread. If I make it again, i'd skip the bread and serve with a vegetable to balance out the rich dish. It also is expensive to make. All the left over cheeses I'd plan menus with them so you could get your monies worth.

I forgot about this recipe and came across it when I was planning a vegetarian b-day menu for a friend. It is my definition of comfort food, yet elegant enough to entertain with. Will definitely be bringing this dish back into rotation.
