The picture from Sweet Paul of his Mushroom and Dill Pasta looked so good I almost licked my screen.
I weighed and chopped my mushrooms, an onion was no match for my handy dandy Pamper Chef manual food processor. I made a special trip back to the store for dill and cream.
I followed all the directions as laid out in the recipe. And it was somewhat successful.
The Pros:
It was easy, ok easy-ish.
I had almost everything I needed.
Nobody flat out refused to eat it. (which is pretty darn successful around these parts!)
The Cons:
The sauce was terribly thin even after simmering, I added a bit of flour to thicken it up.
I don't know what his idea of 4 servings of pasta is but 4 servings as per the spaghetti box (which was 1/2 a box) was not nearly enough for the amount of sauce.
I would recommend one full box of pasta.
While the dill was an interesting combination with the mushrooms that I probably wouldn't have put in on my own, it seemed like it was missing something. The flavors were so so.
Final Verdict:
Probably won't be making this again.
