The weather is getting cooler and soups and stews are great but so is a nice hearty pasta dish like this. I usually serve this with a crusty italian bread, italian green beans or a salad and pass the parmesan around! Also if you like it hot sprinkle on some crushed red pepper flakes...YUM! ** If you want a thicker sauce you can coat the chicken in flour before browning and that flour will thicken the sauce that you will be making in the same pan,you can also add sliced celery and some bell pepper and a splash of cooking wine to make it more authentic if you would like to**.
