    I tried this last night, and it was amazing! The only thing I changed was adding a little white wine to the sauce. I will definitely make this again.

  • Gregoria Rogahn

    I've made this several times now, and it's always a hit. I sometimes add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for extra brightness.
