Spaghetti with Chicken Liver Sauce
 #1009
 Holly says:
I made this and used oregano instead of rosemary. I added parsley and used fresh chopped portabello mushrooms that were browned with celery, garlic, and onion. I also added some crushed red pepper flakes and ground nutmeg. I omitted the pepper sauce. It was very good!

I would, however, recommend the livers be smaller than just halved, as the livers tended to overpower the sauce when you bite into them. The taste was, however, surprisingly very good. Never would have guessed that one!

Thank you! I will make this again!
