Trying this tonight. Didn't have mushrooms. Used chicken stock concentrate. Speed soft reverse. Hoping it thickens up well as it's already cooked with 8 minutes to go.

The liquid was essentially water so I strained it out using the basket. Kids devoured it. A very pleasant change from bright red spag bol.

I have not tried this myself, but since adding the recipe, I have discovered that one or two other recipes from this book do need longer to thicken up.  What I have started to do is to leave the MC off and put the internal steaming basket on the lid if it starts to splash.  JB
