    i love rachael raye, and generally, im almost never disappointed w/ any of her recipes....but this one was awful! My family thought this was one of the most disgusting dishes I have ever made! needless to say, it was inedible, and went into the trash. Lots of wasted ingredients & time....if your thinking about making this dish, DONT!! I promise i will be saving you money & time! yucko! The flavors just didint come thru as I expected.

    I've made the pea sauce twice now, but both times I added a few things that I thought would make it more flavorful. One thing I'm surprised it didn't call for was garlic, so the first time I made this I added 3 cloves of minced garlic. I also diced up about a cup of cooked ham and that really made it good. I'm sure it would have been bland without the addition of these two things.

    The second time I made it though, I tried to think of ways to give this unique but otherwise bland sauce some much needed kick and spruce it up a bit. I added about 1/4 tsp dry mustard, 1/3 cup sherry cooking wine, about 2 Tbls balsamic vinegar, 1/2 tsp more lemon zest, and 1 cup cooked diced ham. The result was excellent! The addition of these ingredients really added a depth of flavor it so badly needed. I haven't tried the carrot or roasted red pepper sauce yet, but I'm looking forward to giving those a try too.

    If you tried the pea sauce and didn't like it, don't give up! Try these changes and I think you'll find that it makes all the difference. It's a unique and healthy twist on your average pasta sauce and a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies :

    this is the first food network recipe I didn't like at all !!! and I'm a vegetarian ! I'm so glad that I made this while my husband was out of town ! usually I make a new recipe when we have company or when I want to surprise him w/ a new dish......I can't believe how awful this was (pea sauce .....Rachel you let me down ! I'm so mad that I spent the money I did on this sauce.......Guess there's always a first time !

    The flavors did not come together well, and the texture was not quite smooth enough. The sauce was bland (maybe more lemon may have helped?, and there was not enough seasoning to balance the sweetness of the peas. I doubled the recipe in anticipation of a tasty sauce, and ended up throwing most of it away. The other sauces might be okay, but I'm not taking any chances.

    I did not have curry so I added a dash of Rosemary to the carrot sauce recipe. I used the carrot sauce as a dipping sauce for Salmon that was cooked with soy sauce, pepper and fresh garlic. Delicious.

    I have been trying to lose weight and can't live without my pasta! These vegetable sauces are simple, delish and perfect healthy alternatives for pasta...yummo! My favorite is the pea sauce. Try it with fresh peas and whole wheat pasta, so good!
