This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the mushrooms were a bit overpowering. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the sauce had been a bit lighter.

Delicious! I made this dish for a dinner party and everyone loved it. The mushrooms were perfectly cooked and the basil added a lovely freshness. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it twice now and it's always a crowd pleaser. The sauce is rich and flavorful, and the mushrooms and basil add a nice touch of earthiness. I highly recommend this recipe.
