Very delicious, the sauce is outstanding, i had no white wine so I used cream sherry, worked beautifully. I added some roasted red pepper to the filling, served with buttered boiled potato and asparagus with thyme. This would make a lovely meal for guests. I will be making it again, thanks for posting.
