I made this for myself tonight, cutting the recipe in half. It was totally deliciious, and I still have enough for lunch tomorrow. I made it with the wine which added a delicate flavor and served it on whole wheat linguine. I substituted non-fat half and half for the whipping cream which cut down on fat and calories. Still delicious. Hats off to the chef!
