My boyfriend and I tried this recipe one night and were surprised. He's not big on making sauces but I insisted on trying it anyway. We used everything but the cornstarch and added instead at the end more Parmesan to thicken the sauce and turned the heat up high. This thickened it instantly. We also added spinach to the mushrooms for another healthy vegetable. We LOVED it! My boyfriend said it was better than the expensive Italian food we go out to.

Very good. Added some cooked cut-up chicken when liquid was cooking mixed cornstarch with water first before adding. Instead of just using Italian seasoning I also added oregano black pepper parsley and onion powder. Used penne instead of fettucine. Will probably make this again.
This turned out well with a bit of tweaking. Four mushrooms for six servings?? And like a previous reviewer notes you've got to mix cornstarch with water or you'll end up with a grainy consistency.
I followed a lot of the reviewers' recommendations and it tasted great - like at an Italian restaurant. The tweaks to the original recipe: I used a whole package of mushrooms white zinfadel (gives a sweeter taste) probably 1 tsp. of oregano parsley and onion powder. To thicken it I used the cornstarch (mixed with cold water) and parmesan cheese along with increasing the heat a little. I also added chunks of cooked chicken and served it over whole wheat angel hair. I forgot to add the salt but that way each family member can add it to taste. We will definitely have this again!
Sautee'd 3 X mushrooms with fresh garlic and minced shallot added the wine with veggie broth (I'm vegetarian) and two buck Chuck. Added some dried sage for a gravy type taste and it was a big hit over farfalle pasta. Thank You
Only 4 mushrooms??? Using an entire package of fresh mushrooms is a must! I also add cooked chicken after I saute the mushrooms to make a complete meal. Adding the cooked pasta to the skillet mixture allows it to absorb all of the good flavors of the sauce. Delicious!
I thought this was very good. I added an entire 8 oz. carton of mushrooms and actually thought you could even add more. Instead of the dried Italian seasoning I used a cup of fresh thyme. Very tasty.
the taste was bland I added many more mushrooms and there was still just barely enough. The cornstarch works best if you mix it with a bit of water in a cup and THEN add it to the skillet. Otherwise it just forms into lumps. In my opinion the recipe as it stands requires too many adjustments to make it worth the effort.
This recipe was a chance to use my home made chicken stock. I increased the serving size and stuck with the original directions just adding some shredded chicken meat. What a wonderful wonderful dinner!
