Joan Macht of Manistee, Michigan, writes: "My wedding shower was held at the Blue Slipper Bistro in Onekama, Michigan. For dinner I had the veal scaloppine saltimbocca, and now I want to make it for my new husband. Will you ask owner Cheryl Kissel for the recipe?

The word saltimbocca in this classic Italian recipe means "jumps in your mouth," because of the great combination of flavors. The addition of herbes de Provence gives this version a bit of a French accent.

Ingredients

6 ounces spaghetti
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup white cornmeal

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup low-salt chicken broth
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, cut into small pieces
