I made this for my boyfriend tonight. When we especially like a dish we say it's "restaurant quality" which means it's a winner for us! It's easy to make too. Add this recipe to your collection of those you do for dinner parties for friends and family.

Fantastic. Even pleased my mother who is fussy about anything unless she prepares it herself! We tried it over wilted spinach with garlic and crimini mushrooms and it was great. The sauce really flavored the veggie part well as it bled over. Absolutely wonderful.
