I did not award any stars to this recipe as there appears to be a mistake with the amount of flour. The one tbsp did not begin thicken the sauce so I improvised and used 3 additional tsp of corn starch - I used a ham sausage. The end result was tasty but the texture was still not right. I have z-mailed the chef and when there is a response I will make the recipe again and award stars
