In another pan melt butter. Add chicken mixture to noodles in bowl, top with melted butter. Scoop out portion. Add feta to top! Yummmmmmmmmy!

New Years Eve Dinner

Happy 2012!

I got a Carrabbas's Italian Grill cookbook for Christmas, so I decided to try it out and make some Chicken Marsala and spaghetti with a tomato sauce for NYE dinner. The process took about 3 hours, but I made everything from scratch and it was delicious!

First you have to make a grill seasoning and grill baste. (both you can use later for future dinners!)

Next, start the tomato sauce and the Marsala sauce.


Last, cook the noodles and chicken and bring the whole meal together, yummmmmmm.
