Delicious pasta dish which adapts easily to a variety of tastes. We added more mushrooms and a little extra garlic. Also, doubling the sauce was essential which meant using a half pint of cream.
Very nice will make again,,,,
I too thought the thyme was to strong....added more flour and whipping cream to drown it out...then was good so I suggest less thyme or non at all.
I made this tonight and didn't care for it at all. I've discovered I hate Thyme. After the first bite I tried adding more sauce because it was so dry but nothing drowned out the strong taste of the thyme.
I love this recipe - easy and so good. I didn't change a thing. Thanks. I will be making it again.
This is sooo good. My boys decided they wanted to go vegetarian for a month, and I could really lose some weight. While I was making this I thought it would be good with parmesan cheese, but I tasted it first. No need to add cheese.
I did double the sauce ingredients (flour, seasonings and cream) because I had added close to twice the veggies the recipe called for. Came out perfect! We will be making this one a lot!
This dish is excellent. My family requests it every week. Wouldn't change a thing!
This is delicious. I doubled the thyme and everyone loved it.
This is an easy meal to make. It is light with a lot of great taste for the summer. Thumbs up.
