It's Orecceheitti...(aw-rehk KYET-tay) or (or-sh-e-ta) depending on who you are listening to... well, actually it's not in this case...as my woefully supplied local market did not have that particular shape of pasta in stock called for in this recipe. So after a big anticipatory buildup, I arrived back to the kitchen with some other more ordinary semi shell shaped pasta instead. No worries though. We pretended it was.
The other ingredients more than made up for this ruse as the al dente' pasta base was carefully topped with chicken which I sauteed in garlic and onions, a homemade pesto sauce (the basil being another home grown ingredient along with the gift of a blender), red peppers, organic turkey bacon and fresh romano cheese.
Even though we both struggled with the name of something we didn't even have, it was... in the end...very well received by the taste buds. Enough so, that this was requested to be cycled back into the menu again soon... A nice meal prepared, served and eaten and enjoyed together...that is what this is all about.
