Really been enjoying the grilling this year, especially marinated chicken. Going to branch out and cook a whole fish soon.

Double chocolate truffle ice cream. Quality dark chocolate, a little Kahlua coffe liquor, a little dark cocoa powder, a teeny bit of salt, frozen bits of chocolate truffle candies, light cream, and only half a cup of sugar. Was declared by a big fan of Nicholas Creamery to be better!

I’m sorry, but doesn’t the dark chocolate, Kahlua, cocoa, truffle and light cream all have sugar in them as well? That’s kind of like going to The Cheesecake Factory and ordering one of their 1500-2000 calorie salads and saying; “yeah I stuck to my diet I only had a salad”. Lol
It does look good though, just found the only half cup of sugar amusing.

This was modeled after my favorite dish at the now defunct restaurant Trattoria Rustica, which was in Matawan, NJ. Rigatoni tossed in a creamy tomato sauce with chicken, mushrooms, asparagus, and a roasted red pepper garnish (makes all the difference actually). It was called Dolcezza. I used to go there all the time and even worked there for a short time in high school. A very under-the-radar Italian restaurant in our area. Did anyone ever eat there?
Shop Rite was out of cream so I had to settle for light cream. While the flavor is the same, it lacked the velvety texture the original had. Still, I would definitely make it again. A good summer pasta dish.

That does look tasty… but chicken in a pasta dish, i just dont know.
Granted, i do break some of the rules myself when it comes to pasta (like I do bury my seafood pastas in grated Locatelli, a no-no to Italians).
So to each their own.
I’ve never heard of chicken and pasta being a no-no, and I come from a very Italian family. Fish and cheese on the other hand…

Does the no fish and cheese apply to shrimp? I hope not as I love shrimp parm!

I was thinking the same thing! I’m NOT Italian, but any fish/seafood with any cheese is one of those things I’ve never understood.

I used to have an office up the road from there and had many a lunches there. I had become quite friendly with the owner (whose name current escapes me) who was actually Greek and not Italian. The last time I topped in there, a couple years ago, he informed me his wife had passed away and you could see in his eyes he didn’t “have it” anymore to continue.
Since I was only there for lunch I’ve only tried his pies, wraps and salads all of which were always very good. He at one time owned the burger place in the same plaza, I don’t think he ran it for long but I remember he took it over at one point.
Meal looks great, thanks for the walk down memory lane. lol

No, I love shrimp parm. Shell fish does not count.
We were not big “regular” fish eaters anyway so its not like it was our family rule, per se.

Sorry, i should have been more clear. I meant shellfish based pasta - thats where i use cheese. i would never put cheese on a piece of regular fish. except maybe the once-a-decade filet o fish from mcd’s.
