The first time I made this it was great, the second time I used a mixture of different types of mushrooms and it was still great. -
I used a bit of butter in this and quite a bit of a flavoured cream cheese (I had no parmesan). It turned out to be excellent. Also added some onion. Great easy and fast recipe to do. Thanks Bergy. -
This was very good. I really liked the simplicity of the recipe but yet it looked like restaurant quality. Some readers say it was a little bland. My rule of thumb is taste as you go; adjust the seasonings where you feel necessary. It always works for me ;-) -
This recipe was Heavenly!! How could it go wrong with my three passions...garlic, pasta and mushrooms! I took a previous reviewer's suggestion and added an additional tsp of basil. I added a couple of ladles of pasta cooking water to the sauce to stretch it a bit and topped it with alot of parm. cheese once it was plated. It was fabulous!! Thank you for a new favorite!!! -
Yumm, yumm, yumm!! This was amazing. I didn't change much of anything when making this recipe...I just added 1/2 tsp of crushed red pepper (which gave it flavor without any heat). I used three 8 oz packages of sliced mushrooms and it was the perfect amount. We will make this again often!

I didn't have some of the ingredients listed so I tweaked it and it turned out fantastic!! So I used bowtie pasta and minced garlic... Yum yum yum! Definitely five stars! -
YES YES YES! I've currently switched over to a vegetarian diet after doing a lot of research and discovering what factory farm animals are subjected to! I don't have it in me to eat meat anymore - unless it's farm raised, which is hard to find in Toronto, Ontario. I tweaked this recipe by substituting basil with oregano. I also used whole wheat pasta instead of linguine and it turned out great! This recipe is awesome. Do try it.

Very good! I used cremini mushrooms, all oil instead of some butter (just what I had on hand, I would imagine it to be better with the butter...), and dried parsley. I will definitely make this again. Thanks!

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
