Baked Rigatoni with Tomato Sauce

October 7, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

When I was in graduate school in New York City, I loved an inexpensive cafeteria-style Italian restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen called Manganaro's Hero Boy. The now-shuttered eatery dated back to 1893 and closed recently due to COVID. Their hero sandwiches were incredible. But I also really liked their baked ziti with a rich tasting tomato sauce. On a recent visit back to NYC I … [Read more...]

Cajun-Creole Crawfish Pasta Recipe

June 1, 2018 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Years ago, a college friend suggested we eat at K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen, chef Paul Prudhomme's original restaurant. Even though, I thought this restaurant was a tourist trap, my meal at K-Paul's was one of the most memorable I've ever had. In particular, I recall a rich, decadent pasta dish -- similar to fettuccine Alfredo, but made with crawfish. It was … [Read more...]
