A full pound of pasta is way too much. Half a pound is more appropriate. Also lovage is quite a bit stronger a flavor than parsley. Go easy. You can always add more.

I didn’t read the note about using half the pasta, so I found the amount of sauce was too little. Also, it needed a bit of Oomph, so I sprinkled on several shakes of dried oregano and dried basil. Tasted better after that!

This was so easy and delicious! Finally, a good use for my lovage patch. I didn't have mushrooms but didn't miss them. Used 2 T of olive oil and cooked the onions a little longer than she said. Also, I just made 1/2 lb. of pasta for two people and that seemed like the right amount for the sauce. Otherwise, I just followed the recipe.
