Wow!
This recipe looked like it was going to take a lot longer than it did. It came together really fast (as in I should have had the pasta cooking a bit before I did! LOL).
Doug's first bite sounded like this "mmm, Oh my gosh! That sauce is soo good!"
Yay! Another score out of the Betty Crocker's Best of Healthy and Hearty Cooking cookbook!
We are branching out of our comfort zone which is great. The family favorites will always be there to back me up, but I am enjoying these new tastes and combinations!

We really liked it! The only thing that went wrong is that I had to cook the chicken over-long because of getting Doug from work, so our chicken was a bit dry.
