How can you skip the UI when you run a recipe?

I'm trying to run a recipe from a toolwindow. I've figured out how to find my Guidance Package, build an arguments dictionary and run the recipe. All this works great, but I don't want to show the UI defined in the recipe since I'm filling in all the arguments before I call the recipe. Is there any way of running a recipe and skipping the UI?

My current work around is to copy the recipe and remove the UI. I could probably figure out how copy the recipe and remove the UI in code so that I wouldn't have to pollute the package.xml, but that seems to be a bit too smelly.

... and if you haven't heard it lately:
Great work guys!

Unfortunately you will need to copy/paste the definition of the recipe. Probably we will add support for including files so you could reuse most of the recipe definition.

We will definitely think about ways to improve this story in future releases...

Thanks for the feedback!
