My sauce never thickened. I wonder if the cornstarch should have been tablespoons instead of teaspoons. It was at least 1 1/2 cups of liquid to cook down a bit.
Still, it was very flavorful. My kids (3, 5, & 9) and husband all enjoyed it. We served it with asparagus, buttered/herbed pasta, and pico de gallo. And the adults had a torrontes wine paired with the meal. It was great - and the house smelled SO good.
