Notes

If you prefer a lightened sauce, you may use evaporated milk or half and half instead of heavy cream. Make sure tho that you do not bring your sauce to a rapid boil to avoid curdling.
For those who can't get their hands on a bottle of Marsala wine, you can substitute it with a dark Sherry, Dry Madeira wine, or Red Vermouth.
The alcohol in the Marsala wine burns off as it cooks, so it's ok to serve this to kids.]
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
