Well... Chicken Marsala went MUCH better than gnocchi! :)
Tonight's culinary exploit was pretty easy and tasty. It actually tasted pretty close to what you get in a restaurant with less creaminess because it was a "lighter" version.
The recipe had a great mix of mushrooms, shallots, and peas... plus a bit of asparagus that I added.
The only real trouble I had was getting my sauce to reduce. Even though I simmered it the appropriate amount of time, it didn't seem to want to reduce. Therefore, when I added the butter and half and half to thicken it slightly it was still quite runny. This made it hard to eat over the pasta. But, like I said, still tasty.
All in all, I was very pleased with the endeavor and hope to continue on this upward track.

My only recommendation would be to add some cheese on top... but that doesn't really contribute to the "lighter" version, now does it?
Next up... A salmon dish with gouda cheese... Sounds gouda, huh? (sorry I couldn't resist!)
I am seriously so impressed. Especially after our little burnt chicken fiasco on Sunday. How embarrassing. :) But seriously - I can't believe you are making all these great meals! Maybe we should have cooking time together too! Cooking and crafting...we can alternate.
