Decent. Definitely filling, just not that creative of a recipe. I could come up with this myself - add some onion and mushrooms to quinoa... it tasted fine, but it didn't rock my world or anything. read more >

The Top One Hundred Pasta Sauces

By Diane Seed, Robert Budwig
Ten Speed Press - 2004

April 25th, 2010 (edited 25th April 2010)

I was quite surprised that 90% of the recipes in this book call for cream or marscapone (or both). I'm not a fat hater; I'm completely open to cream sauces but where's the variety here? How about more tomato sauces? The sauce I made thus far was quite good. I will continue to try the book here and there, it's just not the end-all pasta sauce book I would have imagined.
