Linguine allo Scoglio

edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
I had my first meal of Linquine allo Scoglio in Venice and thought I had died and gone to heaven.

I attempted to do it tonight on the Egg. Pam is allergic to clams, so I had to make two versions, clams and mussels, and shrimp and calimari.

First, I got all of the ingredients lined up for the cook.

Then, I cooked the shrimp/calimari separately from the clams

The table Pam set (Frank in Houma, can you find it?)

No dinner would be complete with out an Italian dessert, tiramisú in this case. This is store bought, but I will be making some this week.

    Yes. Cooked it like bacon, let it cool, then crumbled it.

    Thanks Mike. Pam is allergic to shellfish too. She can eat shrimp, can take one bite of crab, but lobster would put her in the hospital. I don't think she's ever tried clams, but she's too afraid of them.

    I feel for you and her. :(

    Thanks KB. From Chinese stir-fry, I learned to put everything into a bowl, ready to add when called for. More dirty bowls, but easy cooking. :)

    Lovely, and I'm sure it was delicious.

    So that's what it's like to eat behind bars. I'm buying the house next door!

    For JLOCKHART, it's a Ruger Mini-14 .223 cal. assault rifle.

    For the government, it's a toy BB gun. :laugh:
