"When I was young and in love, my sweetheart and I would frequent an Italian restaurant at least twice a week. It was a family owned place, and the owner often had his mother make special dishes for us. This recipe reminds me of one of those, although credit must go to Carol Monahan, the original poster of this recipe."

I'm going to start off by saying, I ruined this recipe hahahaha. So no star rating to influence others unfairly. I couldn't find veal cutlets so used scallopeni. (browned for 30 seconds then set aside) Then I thought we had the angel hair pasta, but it turned out that we didn't. So before I even got cooking this recipe was doomed. I valiantly tried to follow the recipe from there, but accidentally evaporated all of my wine sauce (which smelled delicious mind you). At that point in time I was pretty hungry, so just added 2 cans of diced tomatos and went from there. I got the tomatoes heated through then right as the pasta was done, added the veal back into the pan. So ok, I sort of failed this recipe, BUT the results were still really delicious and my partner loved it. I'm sorry this isn't a more accurate rendition of your recipe, but dinner was great!
