MAKE IT SHINE!

This dish is awesome! It is comfort food (for me, at least), savory and not like all other pasta dishes. It is a combination of a couple of recipes - need I say that chicken livers are a favorite of mine. :) A lot of the residents seem to like a little taste here and there - since they are high in iron etc. the good outweighs the bad!

This was perfect! It has been snowing for days and I wanted comfort food. Chicken livers are a favorite of mine and this was a stellar application.<br/><br/>The only changes I made were using a bit if pancetta because I had it on hand and wanted it to go in something. Fresh sage in place of dried..again I had it on hand. I got truffle infused sea salt for Christmas so I put a pinch on and it was awesome but it was awesome before. Usually I can't stand reviews that say..I love this recipe except I substituted ham for chicken and added a cup of salsa instead of cream..or what ever massive change was made. This is a good recipe as is.Reply
