Personal Notes:
Super easy but looks like a restaurant dish. Be sure to cook down the sauce to a nice thickness. On occasion, I have added a sprinkle of flour to the sauce at the end to hasten the thickening. Fresh sage really sets the flavors in this dish. Do yourself a favor and plant some in the yard. It is drought tolerant and great in many recipes. ENJOY!
