Lamb Fries Brought Us To Roseanna’s

It was the Lamb Fries which brought us to Roseanna’s Italian Food Restaurant in Krebs, Oklahoma. Do you know what Lamb Fries are? We thought we knew what they were. My husband loves lamb, and he loves fries, so undoubtedly he would love Lamb fries!

Well, turns out they were good, but they weren’t what we thought. Lamb fries are lamb testicles. They are often served breaded and fried, which is how we enjoyed them at Roseanna’s. 🙂

I Found The BEST Shrimp Pasta Recipe!

Linguine with shrimp is seriously one of the most delicious seafood pasta dishes. Fortunately I found the BEST shrimp pasta recipe. Honestly I don’t have the words to adequately describe how delicious this dish is. I initially found this recipe in a newspaper clipping a few years ago and have held onto it.

For me, this dinner is a HUGE treat. It’s luxurious, it’s scrumptious, it’s incredible. Got the idea? 🙂

The recipe comes from chef Giuliano Hazan’s “Giuliano Hazan’s Thirty Minute Pasta: 100 Quick and Easy Recipes” cookbook, which tells you that you can create this pretty quickly. It is everything you could want in a shrimp pasta dish! Every mouthful is full of shrimpy, garlicky, and creamy delight!

I love pasta dishes. They are usually quick and easy to prepare, budget friendly, and super satisfyingly delicious. Linguine with Pancetta and Peas checks all of those boxes.

This pasta dish is super savory due to the addition of the pancetta. Pancetta is Italian pork belly which has been salt cured, and it is so very very good!

How can such a simple preparation with a few simple ingredients turn out such an amazing dish? I keep asking myself that every time I make Linguine With Clam Sauce for dinner. This pasta dish, which is said to originate from the southern coastline of Italy (Campania), is one of my go to dinners for several reasons: it is delicious, budget friendly, quick and easy, and as a runner I can easily load up on my carbs!

Because I love my food a bit on the spicy side, I add a couple (well, maybe 3) red or green Thai chilis to this dish. The chilis give it quite a kick, and also the reds add a beautiful color as well. If you like things spicy but don’t have any Thai chilis available, you could also add some red pepper flakes.

Here in the US we generally call this dish Linguine With Clam Sauce. However, I think Linguine Alle Vongole sounds so much better. 🙂 I truly believe that once you try this dish, you’ll want it to end up back on your plate again soon.

Treat yourself to this taste of Southern Italy tonight!

Course Pasta

Cuisine Italian

Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  

• 12 oz linguine I used Skinner’s; you can also use 16 oz linguine
• 2 6.5 oz cans chopped clams in their juices I used Snow’s; if using 16 oz linguine use 3 cans of clams
• 5 cloves garlic minced
• 3 Thai chilis minced; leave these out for a milder dish
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• handful parsley chopped
• 1/4 ts salt plus additional salt to taste
• 1/4 ts pepper plus additional pepper to taste
• parmesan cheese
• 1 cup reserved pasta water collected just prior to pasta finishing cooking

Instructions

 

• Heat up water for pasta and cook according to pasta directions
• While the water is heating up for your pasta, set your skillet to medium and add butter and olive oil.  Once the butter is melted, add garlic and chilis, stir, and continue heating for about 3 minutes
  
• Add clams with all their juices, 1/4 ts salt, and 1/4 ts pepper.  Bring to the boil, then reduce to a low simmer until your pasta is ready
• Just before draining your pasta at the end of the pasta cooking time, reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water. Then drain your pasta, and add to the clam sauce.  Stir well, and add additional salt and pepper to taste. Add a bit of reserved pasta water if the pasta is too dry for your liking. This will loosen up the pasta and make it silky smooth. Add little by little until you are happy. 🙂
• Garnish with parsley and parmesan cheese

Notes

Top this linguine with clam sauce with a generous amount of parmesan, if desired.   Try a wine from the Campania region of Italy with this dish, such as Taurasi (red),  or Fiano di Avellino (white) with this dish and enjoy a taste of Southern Italy!
