"Oh my! I found this in a magazine while waiting at a doctor's office. I tried it and my 17 year old daughter said it was "amazing." I have never been really fond of tarragon, but in this recipe, it's good."

SO GOOD!! I made this for my boyfriend who is very picky about good food. He loved every bite. We made a home pack of egg noodles and mixed it all together which was a no-no since we didn't have enough sauce. You may have leftover noodles but its important to have enough sauce on your plate :). I'm taking leftovers for lunch tomorrow and can't wait to eat it again.
