It took a lot longer than 45 minutes. It was very good, but my husband thought there was too much cheese. I am not sure which cheese to cut back on, but I think I will skip the mozzarella on top, and I will add more of everything except cheese to the filling and see if that works. They had a great flavor and I will make them again.

Used 1\/2 and 1\/2 (never use cream in anything) and skim milk. Used just OO to saute mushrooms and onion- no butter. Other than that, followed recipe. Knew it would be too rich for a main course, so used as an accompaniment to simply saute chicken. On other note: use regular grocery store bacon instead of a premium bacon like Oscar's or Applewood Farms. Premium bacon overpowers the flavors, the milder grocery store bacon compliments. Would be a great accompaniment to ham or pork. Everyone thought it would be WAY to heavy\/rich to be main course.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2010-11-28","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"PurpleCorn"},"reviewBody":"Like other reviewers have said this dish is way too rich with nothing to help balance it out.

Made a few adjustments for personal preference. Cheaper alternative to all the cheeses is to buy a bag of Sargento's Italian blend and substitute it in the place of Asiago and the Romano. Recipe is rich, so it is fabulous by first putting a large spoon full of your favorite tomato sauce on the base of your plate, then serve pasta on top. Our family omits onions and mushroom step altogether. Bacon completely changes taste. I have made it with and without it. Also, our family does not like Ricotta, so used the Philadelphia Italian Cooking Creme in it's place.
