Fettuccini and Prawns with Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce

Fettuccine and Prawns in Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce

Way back before the turn of the century while living in San Francisco, one of our favorite restaurants was Caffe Sport, whose specialty is Italian seafood. This dish is inspired by one of their most popular menu items, “Scampi al’ Antonio”, created by Chef and founder Antonio La Tona.

Cannellini and Escarole Soup
