This dish can be made at several budget levels. The most exquisit (and expensive) uses vel cutlets, fresh spinach fettucini, and capers. A most modest approach uses boneless chicken breast when it is on sale, dried spinach noodles and no capers. Serve with a simply-prepared fresh vegetable in season or microwave something frozen. And have a colorful salad. Dessert could be the Chocolate Log from the DESSERT section with freshly brewed coffee.
