Italian Chicken with New Orleans Spaghetti Bordelaise
6:48 AMMy sad confession for the day: I do not know how to make spaghetti. Well, I can MAKE spaghetti, but I have never made a from-scratch tomato sauce on my own that I was proud of. One day I thought about that and realized how truly pathetic that is, so I decided to look around for some good old fashioned spaghetti sauce recipes. Now, I'm sure that you have already peeked at the picture above and are wondering if I am crazy, since its quite obvious that this isn't a tomato-based sauce. Well, when I was looking up spaghetti recipes, I came across one from Emeril Lagasse that had rave reviews so I saved it. When I was making my shopping list for the week, and decided to make this dish, I finally realized that it didn't call for any tomatoes! Silly me, I know. I googled what "bordelaise" meant (I'm such a nerd, geez) and apparently there are two types. French Bordelaise is a sauce made with red wine and bone marrow and a few other things, whereas New Orleans Bordelaise is a more garlic and butter/oil based sauce. Like they said, you learn something new everyday :)
