  1. Just made this tonight. Unless there's something that seems very off, I always try to stay true to the original recipe the first time I make something. It was very tasty. But my wife and I both agreed that the pepper was a little too much. I'll just cut it back a bit the next time I make it. Great recipe. Thanks!

  2. Followed instructions and was a bit salty. Given the parmesan, the additional salt could be omitted. Be certain to eat it all after you make it, after a day in the fridge the leftover portion turned into a solid gluey mass. The freshly made taste was gone with an unpalatable texture.

  3. I made this last night and it was a hit! I will definitely put this in my regular rotation. I used chicken stock, but reduced the amount because of saltiness. I'd recommend tasting before salting this dish.

  4. Thank you, Ashley. I only cook 1-2 nights per week as my wife is a retired foods (Home Ec) teacher and she loves to cook. This was so simple for me and delicious and meets two of my top criteria for a good recipe: quick and one pan. When wifey says "I'd let you make this for me again" I know it's a hit! Served with a just baked loaf of artisan bread, used to sop up the last bit of sauce was wonderful. It earned me an A+.

  5. I made this, but accidentally bought "Pesto Gnocchi" and it was absolutely awful…WHY DID THEY MAKE PESTO GNOCCHI???? IF YOU WANT PESTO JUST ADD IT!

    Going to try again and either make my own gnocchi or find some proper store bought 😀

  6. I’d love to hear ATK’s take on msg. I’m using more Asian-made condiments in cooking lately and they very often use msg. (I also like using Better Than Bullion which uses it.) My understanding is, as long you and your family don’t have a sensitivity to it (mainly resulting in headaches), it’s okay to use. So maybe avoid it when cooking for guests, but otherwise have at it? Really, the amount of msg per serving is extremely small and a tiny amount adds a lot of flavor. Thanks!

  7. I’m so glad to hear about washing mushrooms! I love them, but it’s a pain in the neck to wipe them off. Also, if I’m in a hurry and I’m going to cook them immediately, I like to use pre-sliced mushrooms and they really need to be dunked to get clean. No more guilt! 🤣🤣
