Very tasty. Just enough sauce to carry the creole flavors and meld the different types of protein together. Went a bit overboard by making our own Chorizo and homemade penne pasta. A great Creole recipe from down in New Orleans!

One word 'yummy'. This bread is good on its own or with any of your favorite Italian dishes.

So quick and the cream sauce was spectacular. Just a hint of mustard and the fresh herbs really brought it to life. I cut down on the cream and it still made plenty of sauce. Worthy of licking the plate clean, although I used some french bread to sop it up!

These are so easy to make and are delicious!

This recipe deserves at least 5 star, it is that good. Made it for dinner last nigh. The sweet-sour sauce was a hit, perfectly balanced flavours and textures.
