The dish was easy to make and the ingredients sounded good but I did not enjoy the dish. It did not have much taste. Maybe it could use more salt.

I made this over the weekend and really enjoyed it. Nice and simple, and the taste is great! I would think about adding a few more mushrooms though next time.
