Angel Hair Pasta with Vodka sauce

This recipe was initially tried on 01/16/2010. It has not been attempted a second time yet, but I will post the changes I made and how it tasted once it is made again.

Ingredients:
canned Vodka sauce
1 pkg sliced mushroom
rubbed sage
garlic powder

Angel hair pasta
Olive oil
Table salt

Recipe:
Boil the noodles with a dash of table salt and a capful of olive oil. Make certain to be watchful of the noodles. It is very easy to get distracted and overcook the noodles.

In a separate sauce pan, pour the mushrooms and Vodka sauce in and heat. Add garlic powder and rubbed sage to taste.

When the noodles are done, strain the water from them. I, personally, use a colander to strain my noodles.

Once the noodles are done and the sauce is heated, allow each party member to grab a plate and add as much sauce as desired.

A good side for this dish would be garlic bread. The store bought garlic bread that only needs to go in the oven and be served is an acceptable way to do this. A more in-depth guide to making ones own will come at a later date.

Feeds a party of four, in addition to the DM. This recipe scales well, however.

Analysis of the meal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Good:
* Quick
* decently received

The Bad:
* Not enough sauce
* Somewhat bland

Closing thoughts:
* more sauce, less mushrooms (two jars of sauce, or larger jars.)
* make the whole package of noodles
* Sauté the mushrooms in butter with onions before adding to sauce, possibly even sautéing the mushrooms with shrimp and spicing it with the rubbed sage and garlic powder.
* A different variety of pasta may be nice. Possibly Bowtie pasta?
