Favorite Restaurant Recipe
Recipe Met the Ultimate Test
This Pasta Recipe with Shrimp was submitted by a reader of
my website and e-newsletter. I put the recipe to the ultimate
test. I made it and served it to my restaurant guests. Karen,
you now have a real restaurant recipe! My guests loved your
recipe.
Karen noted that her recipe calls for skim milk and part-skim
Ricotta cheese to help reduce the calories in the meal. An
added bonus without the loss of the delicious factor.
Enjoy Karen’s real restaurant recipe.
