Ah, yesterday was a good day to bring back "not too old" memories and test my culinary prowess (yes I cook), as my cousin was over here in Cincy on a business trip. As he is a former University of Cincinnati alumnus, he pretty much used to come over to my place every other weekend.
On these weekends, we used to concoct delicacies which weren't typical in an Indian home (nor am I good in cooking Indian food mind you; can't compare to mom's cooking). He would help do the nitty gritty tasks (I guess you can call him the sous chef) and I put it together.
Yesterday on a frigid night, it was our try on Maggiano's Rigatoni "D" pasta dish. If you haven't had it, just think about Chicken Marsala put together with pasta. The taste just kept lingering on in my taste buds since I had this specialty from the Italian chain restaurant a few weeks back. So after some 'research' on the web (Google, is your friend), I found a recipe which fit the description off of the menu. And voila, the result was amazing! The 'cloning' experiment worked. Dunno if Maggiano's will sue me for copying their dish, but I must thank them for having such an item on their menu. Maybe a little more Marsala will give it more of a flavorful taste, but at the end, it's all good.
