I can't believe how delicious this is. I added about 5 white button mushrooms to the saute pan when I was cooking the garlic and shallots. I agree, the sauce with the marsala definitely makes this. What a wonderful flavour. If I could give this a 10 I would. I'll be making this again, thanks so much for such a delicious recipe.
