My family LOVED this recipe! I used Feta cheese instead of the Gorgonzola. My 5 year old could not get enough and anytime I ask her what she wants for dinner now, she asks if I will make this dish again. Next time I will double the recipe so we can have leftovers! Everyone should try this one at least once!
