What a delightful supper I had this evening! Inez's Past with Mushroom Cream Sauce is a treat as a side or as a main dish. I had it as a main dish, as I was dining alone this evening. I used bowtie pasta as Inez suggested and added just a touch more salt and parmesan for my taste. Excellent recipe, Inez!

Tasted fine but alittle too rich for our tastes. I also found that 12 oz is way too much pasta for 2 servings. If I end up trying this again I will cut back the sauce more.

An easy dish to make. I added more mushrooms because I like to have the cream thicker and subsitute parmesan for mozzerella. I don't like parmesan. The dish turned out great. Everyone loved it.

I was in the middle of making the sauce and I thought about adding some left over potroast and I realised afterwards I accidentally made Stroganoff. It was amazing. Totally not according to recipe but now I know if I wants some good stroganoff I'll consult this recipe again.

I made this last night when I ws looking for a quick and easy pasta dish for meatless mondays. It was very good and very easy to make. I usually always have a container of shredded 4-cheese italian blend and so that is what I used instead of the parm. I was unfortunately at the very end of the container so I did not have the amount called for in the recipe and so I think that is why I felt the dish was missing something. I will make this again and will make sure to have enough cheese next time.
