I love that this recipe was so simple. I had to double the recipe, because I had a lot of people to feed. I substituted skim milk for the heavy cream, because my dad doesn't like rich, creamy foods. The amount of milk was reduced to half of what the recipe required, because the sauce was already looking a bit watery. In an attempt to thicken the sauce, I cooked the sauce for an additional 15 minutes. I don't think it helped much, but it wasn't a big problem because the dish was given good reviews (by my family and Andrew). Also, I used fresh basil instead of chives since I had that on hand and added some sauteed shrimp. Next time, I'd add more salt... I didn't listen to PW when she said specifically not to undersalt the sauce. I figured the cheese would add some salt to the dish, but I figured wrong. However, it was quite a success. My dad, who is very picky about his pasta, even asked for seconds! Andrew ate thirds or fourths...
andrew needs to start paying for all those meals! either with money or favors.
