This is scrumptious. I love it w/ smoked salmon flaked & added to it. My son likes it without, so it is your choice. Your kitchen will smell lovely cooking this dish!

I thought the smoked salmon was a bit too salty.

The sauce was a bit bland. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to taste.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very creamy and the smoked salmon was a bit overpowering. I think I would prefer a lighter sauce next time.
