Who would have thought of horseradish in pasta sauce? Not me! I love the root-y taste it adds, though. Great basic sauce - will definately go in my book. I admit I tweaked the seasoning a little, (I can't live without garlic) and I had no pine nuts on hand, but this is just the recipe I was looking for. Thanks!Reply

Why didn't I try this one during the RSC #3 contest? I can't believe I missed out on this for the past two months! Okay, I left out the horseradish because I'm not a fan of the stuff, and I left out the Parmesan cheese because I don't mix chicken and cheese for religious reasons. Aside from that, I didn't change a thing except to add more pine nuts. You can never have enough pine nut, in my opinion! Thanks Dorothy, I loved it!5Reply
