Wow!! This is delicious. Tasted like a restaurant meal. The flavors were perfect and it was easy to make. I'm looking forward to making this for company. I used dried herbs and white wine. So good. The house smelled wonderful while it was cooking. Thanks for a great recipe.

Wow.This was sooo good and so simple. Tasted like I spent a lot more time and energy than I actually did. I used penne.

very good I added a can of chopped tomatoes. I used flat noodles will try the angel hair next time. I also used all chicken broth no water. next time I may replace the water with white wine.
