Admittedly, I like Ellie Krieger. We share a tweet here, and share a tweet there, and it's all good fun. I also like her approach to cooking, her credentials, and in general, her sweet disposition and quick mind. She's all good! Because of that, I have always wondered how I'd handle a review for a recipe I truly did not like. I guess the answer is: 1.) shower her with praise, 2.) write an honest review. Here goes...apologies to Ellie Krieger.
On the plus side, this dish is one of the easier dishes to cook in the book. You basically whip some fish with oil and capers, toss it with arugula and pasta, and done! That's good that it's so easy. On the negative side was the texture and the general taste. As I ate it, I just kept thinking to myself how mayonnaise was really missing. It was pasty and didn't smell overly good. It was also pretty darned bland.
I'm not Ellie Krieger, nor am I a trained chef or dietician. I am sure there are ways to make this better that stay loosely within the overall rules of good nutrition. I doubt mayo is one of them though, so...I won't be recommending this recipe to the people that have connected with me, but, if something like this sounds good to you, go for it. My palette is far from definitive.
