Not sure what I missed on this one but just didn't find it very memorable. I took the other cook's suggestion and added a clove of garlic, but just found it ok. Not bad, but just not great. Granted, I didn't have half and half and used whole milk plus some evaporated, so maybe my sauce wasn't creamy enough, but even besides that it wasn't anything to get excited about.07/05/07

Enjoyed this recipe very much. I don't like arugula so I threw in a little fresh basil. (yum, yum) I would definitely make this again b/c it was so quick & easy.07/06/06
