The sauce was excellent the first time I made it with parmesan chicken. I also add to this sauce medium shirmp, onions, frozen peas served over angle hair pasta. Love the sauce!

I did not like this sauce at all. It may be very healthy but does not have very good flavor.

I used this condiment in place of a gravy over chicken. I added fresh sliced mushrooms (button).

I'm very pleased with the way it turned out, and the flavor was right on!
