Tastes ok....But I was on the phone while I was cooking, following the directions without actually thinking about them...Meaning I followed them exactly without thinking in advance. Adding that much liquid...There is no way you can boil it down in 3 minutes! It turned out like creamy top ramen.

I didn't have all the ingredients. No mushrooms, asparagus. Substituted egg noodles for fettucini since I didn't have that either.
It was fabulous!
I agree that the liquid was far too much to reduce in 3 min. No problem, cook longer or use less liquid.

The flavor was fabulous.
