I know I’m not supposed to bash my own recipes and posts but I can’t stand the sight, smell, or taste of this dish. It’s one of my husband’s favorites so I made it just for him. It was also a favorite at a restaurant I worked in. By the end of week one I was all scarpariello-ed out. Poor guy’s had to wait about five years for me to get around to making it at home, but I wanted cacciatore the other night so bought the ingredients for his chicken dish too. I have a very happy hubby tonight and our anniversary’s not until next week. Check one for me, but who’s keeping score? 😉
