We have just finished dinner and had to rate this recipe ASAP...I used 2 breast and followed the recipe except for 1/3 c chopped red and green pepper..I had to put it in the oven for a hour as we had things to do..And the sauce cooked down nicely and didnt need thickening..I used angel hair pasta..We liked this very much..Reminded me of a pasta dish I had while in St.Louis,the sauce was very much the same and it was meatless..I will be making this again..Thank U for this wonderful recipe...
