"My 90 year old Sicilian mother said this is how she remembered it from her childhood...............like so many of Giada's receipts. Carlo"

"OMG this was awful, it was so sickeningly sweet it was barely tolerable. I should have known that Paula Deen's reciepts are usually way too sweet, to rich or to fatty. It's a trademake of her exagerated "southern" cooking. Bet she thinks "sweet tea" is simple syrup.............yuck
I hope she reads these reviews! YUCK

"very good
I made 5 mini loafs w/each receipt (2.5" x 4". They baked b/w 32 and 35min. Doubled the spices which gave real depth of flavor. Ran out of eggs so used 3 for a double batch and actually liked the denser texture.

"It's very good tho I used about 2/3 the white sauce and swiss for gruyere. I added hot sauce, about a tablespoon full instead of the nutmeg for a more savory favor. Can't taste the heat but added depth.

"wonderful
I cut the amounts in half and it was fine, tho use a deep baking dish. I sautéed the sausage separately and then made the white sauce w/a bit of the sausage drippings. This added extra flavor to the sauce. Also added extra basil, fresh parsley and fresh oregano. Go w/it.
