Loved the sauce and i also added in shrimp. Turned out wonderful but only personal alteration i would make next time would be to thicken the sauce by using less water and cook for a bit uncovered in the end. Thanks.

I have never been more infuriated. This is not a sauce, it is SOUP. Maybe don’t use the water at all and use ~4 tbs. of butter instead to make it more sauce-like

It did not taste like I had in mind. Really could not taste the garlic and I added more than it called for. My husband liked it a lot.

Good flavor, but I definitely agree with the other reviews to omit the water. In addition, I would use less wine, less onion (maybe 3/4 cup), and more garlic. Also, I would use fresh tomatoes and add them to the sauce later on. Oh, and don't be afraid to be generous with the spices!!!

The combination of herbs, wine, olive oil, mushrooms and tomatoes make a very nice sauce. I took others advice and made some changes, though. Omitted the water. Added fresh, seeded, diced tomatoes and fresh sliced mushrooms instead of canned. Half sliced green onions and diced white onions. Used chicken tenderloins because that is what I had. Same amount of other ingredients. Followed the directions otherwise. My husband and I really enjoyed this! Will make again. Oh...also threw in some frozen shrimp at the end that needed using up.
