Not up to food network standards. It was OK, but kind of plain.

This dish has a permanent stay in my recipe book. I love the subtle flavors from the leeks and thyme in the cream sauce and the amount of sauce is just perfect for folks who don't like really thick alfredo sauces. If you want a creamier sauce, just double-up on the sauce.

I ended up playing around with the recipe over time and have done everything from subbing green onions when leeks weren't available (just use 5-6 green onions, added chicken once, chicken broth instead of white wine, or adding broccoli when you cook the mushrooms. You can play with this recipe to suit your family's needs because of how flexible this dish. Even if you follow this recipe to a T, it's still delicious but read reviews beforehand to see how it's played out with other families (it's not a thick Alfredo sauce-recipe so you won't be disappointed with your results and learn tips on how to make this work for your palate. :

Great flavor. Used cremini, will add more cream, wine, and maybe chicken broth or beef broth next time for more sauce.

I made this after seeing it on TV. It looked so good & I love mushrooms and leeks. But, this was completely tasteless. All I could taste was the pasta, no sauce at all. We eat mostly whole wheat pasta anyway, so it had nothing to do with that. First time ever from a RR recipe. :-(

This was a good dish. I would give it a four except that there was not enough sauce. Next time, we'll just make more. We also used fewer mushrooms and less pasta. Overall, it was good and we would make it again.

When I tasted the mushroom and leek mixture by itself, it tasted delicious, but when I mixed it in with the pasta, the sauce was not creamy and not nearly enough sauce. I have been using wheat pasta for the past 2 years in all my pasta dished, but in this dish to me, the wheat pasta was overpowering. All I could taste was the wheat pasta and not the delicious leek/mushroom flavor.

I'm gonna try this recipe again by making just a regular alfredo or bechamel sauce so it will have enough sauce. Of course it won't be as healthy but it will make a better recipe.

For some it may need a little more creamy sauce. Other than that a great addition to my recipe box!!

I made this recipe and really liked how it came out. I did change some things to make it more weight watcher friendly. I used only 2 tablespoons of olive oil instead of the 1/3 cup in the recipe. I also substituted an onion for the leek. I also used fat free half & half instead of cream. It was not as creamy as the original recipe but I was able to get 4 large servings out of this meal for a 7 point meal (for those weight watchers people.

Missed this episode, so did not see her prepare it. However, I am not surprised with the comments, though, as things are typically eyeballed and rarely measured, so what appears in the recipe is not necessarily how it was cooked.

My family loves mushrooms, so will be preparing this.

Use half of the spaghetti and make all else as is, or use 1 lb of spaghetti and double all else. I used 8 oz of spaghetti, all else as written and it turned out AWESOME and also looked like the picture. I will make this again. BTW, mushrooms are mostly liquid so they DO NOT absorb water easily. If you rinse them quickly under running water and put them in a colander to drain right away they will be clean and you don't have to spend time wiping them with a towel. I really can't believe that Rachael doesn't know this. I think she needs to talk Elton Brown about this. (:> He's the one that taught me that trick.
