My family ate this but no one cared for seconds. Maybe I made it wrong because the sauce was kind of grainy and just tasted like sour cream and you couldn't really taste the other flavors.

I don't know if this counts as a legal review. I left out the pasta completely, used 5 large zucchini cut into pasta-shaped strips, cut out the carrots, added another cup of mushrooms and used vegetable broth instead of chicken. I sauteed all the vegetables until tender, add the sauce ingredients and heated through. Amazing! A great adaption to Somersizing!
