Wow, you sure have found the winning Giada recipes for the IHCC group, Kim! I've saved every one of them that you've submitted. I even bought bucatini at Trader Joe's this week to make this. That cheese and pancetta and red pepper flakes won my heart! I might even make half a batch with ground turkey from an Ina/Mario Batali combo recipe and see how that works for the weight loss goal still going on.

Then when I got to the bit where you mentioned Giada uses smoked mozzarella, I thought "oh, yeah" that's totally me - I love smoked cheese. Then you got me back to the fontina. And then it occurred to me, I could make half and half and have the best of both worlds - I'm definitely making this :-)<br />Sue xoCouscous & Consciousnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616224893242380904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163770583663178916.post-38866406023930942952011-02-07T16:08:47.292-05:002011-02-07T16:08:47.292-05:00Mmm, great comfort food!
