What are the essentials for romantic Italian dinner at home?



Dude, just make some chicken marsala. It's easy as shit. Cut some boneless skinless chicken breasts in half (across the whole breast) and flatten them a bit more. Then all you need is some marsala wine, chicken stock, mushrooms, flour & diced shallots (your cheap ass could use a mix of diced onions & minced garlic). Dredge each breast in some flour seasoned with itialian seasoning and quickly fry them on each side in some butter & olive out. Set them aside after they are golden brown on each side. Then sautee the shallots, add the mushrooms, sautee a bit more and pour in 1/2 cup of marsala and scrape up any brown bits from the pan. After a few minutes, add 3/4 cup of chicken stock and cook for a few more minutes. Then turn the heat down and add the browned chicken breasts and cook until they are done. Remove the breasts and add another TB of butter to the sauce to thicken it and then pour everything in the pan over the chicken breasts. Serve with any basic pasta & steamed vegetables.
