    How can this be wrong?? I used a small penne pasta but forget what it's called. I did cheat and use whole milk too ;) Chose to use the wine which makes this all the more delicious and of course fresh parsley! This is creamy (just as the title says) and delicious!

    ML2C, you chose wine over chicken broth? I am soooooo NOT surprised : ) Is penne pasta like rigitoni but cut at an angle? This sounds good. GK has some good recipes

    Half a vegetable here and half a vegetable there makes me sad and my fridge full of this and that. I doubled the sauce so as to use the whole veggies. Makes a lot of sauce. Quadrupled the pasta and there was plenty of sauce to go around. Thought the sauce was on the thin side so I pumped in one tablespoon of corn starch with a little water and that did the trick.
    Only had asagio but it paired up nicely. Had to put a lid on the veggies to be sure they were soft tender. We don't like soft crunchy veggies here.

    But really! No garlic! I boiled the pasta in garlic powder and salt infused water :) to compensate. Halved 'shrooms would fit well in this dish.
    Finally, I used beef broth instead of chicken because we are using Italian sausage.
    Dish has a little of the taste of stroganoff.
    It's mother tested and approved, although she did pick through and left the sausage. That's OK. More for me.

    I'm so glad you reminded me and I had forgot to mention before I did add a couple cloves of chopped garlic to the sauteed veggies. It just seemed right :)

    Okay smarty pants Mr P!! Yes and the rigatoni is a little bit larger of a pasta too.

    ML2C. I sure hope me teasing you about wine doesnt bother you in the slightest. Im just a SA by nature and like having fun here. You, Frankie, and Keni tend to be my primary targets : ) I wish more members would participate in IMI more

    Besides, a couple of months ago I went wine tasting with my daughter to celebrate her 21st bday. We came home with 35 bottles. So I tend to sip here and there : )
