Chicken Marsala Pasta
I use to make chicken Marsala just as a meat dish, with sides, but I loved the sauce so much I wondered what the best way was to enjoy more of the delicious sauce, so I just cut up the chicken and added pasta. Now this is my favorite way to do chicken Marsala. I really like the pasta one dish meals. My son loves it. It has added spinach to add some extra nutrition. There is plenty of sauce in this recipe for the pasta.
