Great recipe! Agreed with the other review. Double or triple the amount for the sauce! You really can't have to much, because you can put it on the left overs!

This was very easy to make. I really liked the flavors and so did the husband. Next time I will have to double maybe even triple the sauce since that disappeared very quickly. What a GREAT recipe!!! Thank you for posting!
