  1. I tried this recipe tonight and it was absolutely delicious! I made chicken tenders as an additional protein and it tasted great with the garlic brie sauce. Would highly recommend this recipe to anyone.

  2. Tried this tonight and added some roasted butternut squash and brussel sprouts. Before serving I put it into a cast iron skillet, topped with some parmesan cheese and toasted walnuts it came together even quicker than expected and I was very tasty. I’ve never made a sauce with pasta water as a thickener before and was pleasantly surprised how well it worked. Will definitely make this again and enjoy playing around with the ingredients. Thanks for the recipe!
