It makes poor spaghetti and terrible angel hair. So now we've come full circle in most places. Dry pasta is once again the rule. Now, having been exposed to rice stick noodles, orzo, and whole-wheat pasta, we're ready for anything. And the restaurants keep giving it to us.
Pasta dishes are high profit, filling, and good.
Gnocchi with fresh sage brown butter sauce, Andrea's. You'll have to ask the chef to make these for you specially, buyt he'll be only too glad to do so. Pasta jambalaya, Mr. B's. The greatest creation of Mr. B's pasta department, this one has spread to many other restaurants. The andouille Mr. B's uses puts this in a class by itself.
