Gourmet at home. I got this idea from a meal delivery service my daughter subscribes to. I came up with my own version. It is a cream sauce made with cream cheese, garlic, roasted bell pepper, and Parmesan cheese. I am delighted at how delicious this dish is. My daughter divulged that my version is better. It would make a great appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
