BamaBelle30's Note:

Extremely flavorful pasta dish that is quick to prepare! (You could substitute extra chicken stock for the wine, if desired.)

We loved this. I followed it exactly except for the quantity of pasta. 8 oz. pasta seemed the perfect amount for the sauce. With crunchy bread and a salad this made a wonderful dinner. Thanks for posting.
