THE TEST
Guinea Pig Jennifer gave this one a try, and wasn't overtly impressed: "It is in truth just a poor man's substitute for Alfredo." Based on the picture, she expected a pasta with a light sauce for a light flavor. But be forewarned that with 3/4 cup of cream and additional butter that it's not exactly low-fat. She also didn't think the parsley added much to the dish.
So while it's great that it only uses one pot, it does need some TLC. As the blogger mentioned, the pot did go dry (twice), neccessitating additional broth. Jennifer definitely suggests cooking the pasta in the chicken broth, as it adds flavor. Next time she suggests adding lemon juice, olive oil and roasted garlic.
CONCLUSION
A good start, but has a way to go.
