Not very much flavor. I even ended up seasoning as I tasted and thickened as some suggested. Not horrible, but will not make again.
Valerie Miller
Good flavor, the meal came together pretty quick. I used half the amount of chicken stock and added a bit more cream and some pasta water.
James Flores
Family really enjoyed this meal. As others stated needed a little extra seasoning (personal preference) adjusted as I cooked (more soy sauce, lime juice, tequila, added a tablespoon of adobo seasoning)
Turned out very flavorful and is in rotation.
Terry Ho
One of our favorite meals!  Just add a little cornstarch and water mixture just before adding heavy cream or add pasta water with noodles to the sauce and it thickens up wonderfully.

So so.  Sauce was too thin. Try 2-3 Tbs flour with the veg saute and maybe half the amount of broth.

Delicious!! Based on the reviews, I let the sauce simmer until reduced by half and then tossed it with the pasta. It coated the pasta perfectly! I used two small red peppers sliced thin and let them cook with the onions until lightly browned and beginning to caramelize. Yum!!

Yeah my sentiments exactly per the other comments, recipe probably need sto be revamped, if this is suppose to mimic a similar recipe made at a restaurant called Pizza Capri here in Chicago they missed the mark.

I was really unimpressed with this. It says to add Chicken broth, soy sauce, lime, and tequila and wait for it to thicken? What in that combination would make the sauce thicken? There is no thickening agent. Mine didn’t at all. I also thought it strange that they said to serve the pasta with the sauce plopped on top instead of mixed in. There was no real flavor to this, it was pretty bland. I won’t make it again.

Sauce was too thin, a little heavy on the red peppers.
