Any chance you can post the modified version with more sauce and chicken? It looks good as-is, but those sound even better. I'm not so talented as to experiment on my own.

hey, Jason.

To double the sauce: just double everything except the pasta. :)

To add chicken: either buy the precooked package of chicken strips or grill up a few chicken breasts and cut into strips.

this is one of Doug 's favorite dishes to get when we go to an Italian restaurant, so of course I had to try making it at home. it was rediculously easy, and the results were quite fabulous. I didn't add the mushrooms (hey, I'm "allergic") and next time I think I will try adding grilled chicken and maybe making more of the sauce. you can NEVER have too much sauce, in my opinion.
