yum! sauce was thinner than I expected. you could "tighten" it up if desired. I did not use white wine and just added extra stock.

Excellent dish! I didn't have the wine, so followed advice of other reviewers and replaced it with chicken broth. My husband has dreaded spaghetti night since I've known him - he never likes my spaghetti. He declared this to be the best sauce he's ever eaten. Way to go and thanks for sharing! I did double the sauce as suggested by others - forgot to double the onion and garlic, though, so will do that next time.

This was really really good! I didnt have any white wine only red, (boo), so i just added some more chicken broth and it was wonderful.. I also added some oregeno, I just think that adds a more itlian flavor to the dish..really easy and simpe and will definatly be adding this into the rotation! Thanks

This was a fast easy dinner. I cut the red pepper down to just a pinch and it was plenty hot for my kids! I had wine so I used it but if I don't have a bottle open I'll just increase the chicken broth in the future. It was plenty for me and the kids but it wouldn't not be enough I hubby was here even with small servings. Overall...good taste...will double if serving 4 people.

I thought overall this was a tasty dish. Since I don't keep wine around rather than buying a bottle and only using 1/3 of a cup I replaced the wine with Chicken broth. I loved the fact that this incorporated chicken in it. I noticed in the making of this, as the sauce cooked and thickened, it didn't leave for much sauce, which I am personally a fan of. I added an additional can of chicken broth to combat this. Rather then 4 servings, this was more like 2 to 3 servings. Next time around I will use the same amount of chicken since I used large chicken breast and double the remaining ingredients. Thank you for sharing this tasty recipe!!
