This is a great starter recipe. I made just as directed, but ended up tweaking with it a bit. I sauted diced yellow & red bell pepper first w/ olive oil, then 1/2 a red onion (not a fan of shallots), then 3 cloves finely minced garlic. I used regluar white sliced mushrooms (that is what I had on hand) and double the amount of sage. I used 1/2 cup cream as directed, but found that it wouldn't cook down. I added a bit of chicken stock (1 turn of the pan) & let simmer. Then added 1 tbl of flour to thicken. Topped with green onions. Turned out to be fantastic!!!! This sauce is very versatile. It would go well with chicken or pork. This is a great recipe. THANK YOU! I am going to put this in my monthly rotation of recipes.  -  21 Aug 2005  (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

This was great and easy...BUT...unfortunately I follow the advice of another review and added half the sage. That was a mistake...it needed all the sage to enhance the flavour, whether in the sauce or sprinkled on top as garnish...Ok...to be fair, I did add parmesan and that was good advice...I would make again.  -  09 Jan 2004  (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

This was easy & very tasty. I had trouble finding oyster mushrooms & substituted portabellas-made the sauce very dark & rich. I also used 1/2 & 1/2 instead of cream to reduce the fat. It was a wonderful way to use my fresh sage & I'd serve it to company!  -  23 Aug 2002  (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
