Made it once for a quick dinner, ASHAMED to have even used a jarred sauce. Way too thick, especially considering “picatta” sauces are normally thin. Since this I’ve tried both Ina and Giada’s versions, made from scratch and so much better!

This recipe is great!! We especially liked the sauce. We may try it on other dishes.
