I absolutely LOVE this recipe! It's so easy to make with ingredients that I usually have on hand. I didn't have any cream, so I just used 2% milk and I made a rue by adding flour to the butter/onion/garlic/mushroom mixture. It thickened up quite nicely ; Also, my 6-yr-old doesn't like shrimp, so I added in 1 chicken breast sliced (which I cooked up before I added the milk in ADDITION to some shrimp (for my husband and I. Everyone loved it!
*I also have to add that to prevent the milk from curdling, I just added the lemon afterwards - just a squeeze of lemon over top the pasta - it added a nice bright flavour. This will be on my menu plan at least once a month as an alternative to pasta night :

I made this for dinner the other night, and it was super fast and easy to make! My husband was VERY impressed, thinking I'd worked really hard on it. It was really delicious and even my very picky daughter asked for a second serving. I will definitely make this one again and again.

This recipe is delicious and I can't wait to make it for our next dinner party!
I'm always interested in other reviews. My rsponse to the complaints are as follows: Different palates respond differenly to various ingredients. if you don't like cayenne pepper, reduce it & add a little more italian seasoning. if it seems bland pick it up with a little more lemon juice & seasonings. Cooking requires tasting & altering recipes to suit your taste.
