After reading other reviews, I made a few changes to this recipe and it turned out great (meaning my kids actually liked it) and it was pretty fast. First, I cut the recipe in half. Instead of buying different cheeses, I skipped the ricotta and just used a 2 cup package of shredded Italian cheeses. I also added some sauteed onions, garlic, and red pepper to the spinach mixture. I used way less of the Italian seasoning. Finally, I bought Pillsbury's thin crust pizza dough instead of bread dough. I realized that if I unrolled the dough and held it by the edges, it would stretch out on its own. Then I cut it into rectangles, filled half the rectangle, and folded over. My calzones weren't in the traditional form, but no one cared. I brushed the top with olive oil and added a bit of parmesan. Be careful with the baking time. My calzones only took about 15 minutes.

This was OK, but it definitely did not taste like an alfredo sauce. I agree with a previous reviewer who thought that this was more like a chicken stroganoff. If you are looking for a real alfredo sauce, don't use this recipe.

When I first read this recipe, I thought that it sounded rather terrible. However, I gave it a shot since it got such great reviews. I am very happy that I tried it because my husband and his friends LOVE it. After making it a couple of times and reading other reviews, I found that I like this recipe best when I brown the bacon a little before wrapping it. Also, when I used regular cut bacon rather than the thick cut, it seemed to crisp better. However, I used 1/2 slice of the regular bacon instead of 1/3 slice of the thick. I also put these on skewers and placed them over a cake pan (lined in tin foil) to make clean-up easier. Before I removed them from the skewers, I stuck a toothpick into each so that the bacon doesn't slip off. I have been told that I will be making these for SuperBowl!
