Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Electric skillet does much better.
Goes well with Asparagus and Cranberry-Spinach salad.
Sometimes I add extra cream if sauce is to thick.
If you think your simmer needs more liquid, add a bit more wine.
May add more heavy cream if more sauce is desired .
This dish freezes well.
