This was the worst recipe I've ever tried. The sauce was watery and flavorless, and the sausage and mushrooms were overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more salt and pepper to the sauce.

I'm not a fan of cream sauces, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The sauce was delicious and the mushrooms were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great! I used ground beef instead of sausage, and it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, but it was a bit heavy. I would recommend using less cream next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great! I used Italian sausage and cremini mushrooms, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I served it over penne pasta and it was a perfect meal for a weeknight.
