I followed other reviews and left out the parsley. I also doubled the cream and cheese, so potentially not as light as it was supposed to be. I also used egg noodles and added grilled chicken. A picky four year old even ate it, so needless to say, everyone was impressed. I would definitely make this again.

WOW! Yum! A bit of this and that too

Loved this! Added a cup of vegetable broth and cooked that down prior to reducing with wine. Also added a teaspoon of crushed of Aleppo pepper at the end and mixed in. We also substituted a teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning for the parsley. DELISH!

AMAZING!

Superb!! Made this with the Gallo Vermouth Dry wine. Honest, best dish of this type I have ever had.

Delish! Used sherry instead of the white wine, and thyme instead of the parsley. Will definitely make this again!

I love this recipe. I have made it for guests many times. I typically use a ton of mushrooms (like 3 packages!) so that I can cut down on the pasta. I think the mushrooms are the prize of the dish anyway--so yummy once they have cooked down.

Very good and easy to make! The only change I made was adding chicken.

This is delicious. I mixed up the onions and added some red. Also, I added sprigs of thyme while the mushrooms were cooking.

This is so good! I cut up two chicken breasts, cooked in butter and then added to the recipe at the end. It was so delicious! Definitely a keeper!!
