Recipe: Chik'n Cacciatore

This is a lovely dish when you want something more sophisticated than plain old spaghetti. The flavors of the vegetables mix nicely with the sauce. This is a great way to take advantage of all the great produce at the farmer's market. When all is said and done you'll have a beautiful meal that looks and tastes like it took much more work than it really did! Pair this with bruschetta for a full meal.
