BBQ Shrimp and Tortellini with Mushroom Filling

This meal takes only minutes to create it's simple and by god it taste great for lunch or dinner!

Cooked Medium Shrimp, however these shrimp are small, so if you want to go big use LARGE ones ( shrimp found in the frozen section)
Kansas City Style Barbecue Sauce
Tortellini With Mushroom filling
Mini Garden tomatoes
Garlic
Salt
Olive Oil

In this dish I used frozen Dorot Crushed GarlicPut in some near 2-3 per serving.
Get a large frying pan and pour you package of cooked Medium Shrimp
Take your bottle of Kansas city Barbecue Sauce and pour generously. Turn you fire on low. Your shrimp are Pre cooked so what we're doing is defrosting the shrimp while allowing the little darlings to soak up the flavor of the BBQ Sauce and warming both these puppies up at the same time.
Now while that cook's or more accurately warms up take a pot and boil water with salt and olive oil. Once boiling pour in the amount of pasta to meet your needs. Boil as instructed on package.
While your items are on stove top begin to cut your Mini Garden tomatoes and cut each one in half so you'll have at least 8-10 full and now cut tomatoes in each serving. These are not cooked. They will be placed on top of the dish once were done with the rest.

Once your pasta is done and your shrimp and BBQ sauce are hot (the sauce will be runny since the water from the shrimp as helped to mellow out the thickness) take your pasta filled with muchrooms and dump into a big beautiful ceramic bowl. Next take your hot BBQ sauce and shrimp and pour every last drop on top of your pasta use every drop of the BBQ sauce to flow over all the pasta. Toss well and gentle so not to bruise you pasta.
Now it's ready to serve.
Place onto plate or pasta bowl and add your fresh tomato.

You may of course add cheese but frankly you don't have to. It's stands on it's own.
Walla your ready to enjoy this BBQ treat

Pappardelle Pasta and Italian Sausage Tofurky

This refreshing pasta dish will be perfect for dinner. The slight lemon edge to the pasta along with the spice taste of the Tofurky make it all come together and work.


Italian Sausage Tofurky
Roasted Spaghetti Sauce worked well with this, but hey use what ever sauce you love.

Put the Lemon Pepper Pappardelle Pasta into water. I like to break up the pasta for easy handling

Italian Breakfast that's fab

You will have an even better time with breakfast when fooling your taste buds and mind with this easy meal. Make sure you kitchen has each item so the next time you want to have fun you'll be ready!

Capellini pasta
Eggs scrambled
Genova Pesto
Sundried tomatoes
Grated Parmesan cheese

Pull as much pasta as needed. I like to break pasta into three equal parts so it's better to fork. Add olive oil and sea salt to your water and wait to boil.
Place Trader Joe's Capellini Past into boiling water and stir cooking instructions are on package, but it's about three minutes.

Simotaniously cook your scrambled eggs. One egg per serving should do you. So crack your egg into container and add soy milk and salt and pepper and stir until your egg's are well blended. Now grab your skillet and use olive oil spray or whatever you have handy to make your pan easy to work with so the eggs come out of the pan smoothly after cooking...not sticking to the dang pan. Make sure your skillet is hot before putting your eggs in to cook.

Now let's bring it all together: Drain your pasta and place into each persons pasta bowl, take some Trader Joe's Genova Pasta and spread lightly over pasta place a good clump of scrambled eggs on top of pasta
Now put a spoon into your sundried Tomatoes in olive oil and generiously sprinkle onto the eggs and pasta.
Next take a spoon and dip into your Grated Parmesan Cheese and sprinkle all over the whole dish. YUMMY.

Sit back and enjoy.

Sexy & Smart Place to Eat

If you live in Southern California or will be visting in the near future do your self a favor and eat at 118 Degrees in Costa Mesa, California. This warm, relaxing and innovative restaurant will inspire you away with fine food and spirits! An acquaintance wanted to turn me on to a restaurant where I could have anything on the menu. Being a vegetarian this doesn't happen all that often. I gladly accepted his offer and boy am I glad I did. My visit was at 118's dinner time. As we drove into the parking lot my date noted that all parking spaces had a label for i.e. peace, joy faith etc etc. the design of the environment expressed a sense of sensitivity and design. There was a soft glow of warm, welcoming light that emanated from the warm wood and floor to ceiling glass front to the whole restaurant. The service was warm, helpful and done with smooth timing. We were in a bit of hurry since the second part of our date was a hot fashion show at South Coast Plaza's Bloomingdale's. This evening of fun with my handsome date would have positive and long reaching effects no one could imagine.

Do your self a favor and check this place out. You also learn more about the chief and owner at my podcast on SOUNDS FABULOUS. Keep on the look out for the new magazine CLOUT coming out in March of 08. I've been commissioned to write the restaurant review for the magazine and I'll be featuring 118.
