THAT’S AMORE




My friend David is from a large Italian family and he knows I love Italian cuisine.  His mother Joan is a fabulous cook and her food is better than the best Italian restaurants.  She has shared so many of her recipes with me, and this is one of my favorites! 

PASTA GIOVANNI 

6 ounces Butter
18 ounces grilled Chicken, sliced
12 ounces Sun-dried Tomatoes
12 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
6 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan Cheese
36 ounces Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce (recipe follows)
36 ounces Bow Tie Pasta

Cook the pasta as directed on package.
Saute butter and mushrooms about 30 seconds.
Add the roasted garlic cream sauce and Parmesan; heat thoroughly.
Drain pasta.  Add pasta to the saute pan and mix well.   

Garnish with Parmesan cheese, Serve and Enjoy.  Sing Italian Love Songs (Optional) 

Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce

2 cups heavy cream
2 tbsp. chopped garlic
Dash salt & pepper
1 tsp. beef base or 1 beef bouillon cube
1 tbsp. butter

In a small saucepan, saute garlic in a small amount of butter until soft but not brown, about a minute.
Add the heavy cream, bring to a simmer. Add the salt and pepper to taste.
Let the sauce simmer, reduce and become thicker, about 10 minutes.
