Whenever we go to St. Louis I stock up on wine from Trader Joe's. Thanks to Tennessee's bizarre liquor laws, grocery stores cannot sell wine or liquor meaning that my favorite place to buy wine, Trader Joe's, can't in TN. On our last trip I remembered to pick up a bottle of Marsala wine so that I could try to make this dish at home. I love the sweet Marsala sauce and the way that it gets soaked into the pan-fried pieces of chicken and fresh homemade pasta. Yum! I even enjoyed the mushrooms, the only food I really dislike. This is an elegant dish that is simple and delightful!
