i took this as a starting point, doubled the recipe, added two cloves of garlic, some salt and chipotle pepper, dill, nutmeg, and a touch more wine. i used half and half so i had to thicken it with 1/4 cup of corn starch mixed with a bit of water. i also used chopped fake chicken which comes pre-cooked but somewhat bland so i simmered it in the sauce and served the whole thing over penne smart pasta with Parmesan. very tasty and addictive and possibly healthier since vegetarian chicken is higher in protein and almost fat free. really needs to be served with a simple salad and the rest of the bottle of white wine for balance. this would make a great romantic dinner.

It was amazing! I didn't have any cream on hand or half and half so I started to look and see if I could make my own or substitute something else for it and I read somewhere that i could use condensed milk. It doesn't reduce down or thicken like it should but I just added a touch of corn starch and it was wonderful. My husband was practically licking his plate at the end telling me I could make this again anytime I wanted! I served it with a penne pasta and
