Brett & Bart's favorite spaghetti by jeanne templemanThis is an old Italian recipe that I've been cooking for 30 years, and my boys and husband all love it. I got this from my good friend and extraordinary cook Jeannie Puente. The trick for the old Italian flavor is that you cook it for 2 days in a crockpot. I don't leave it on at night for safety. Delicious! |

Chicken Marsala by Terri JordanThis recipe has a creamy mushroom sauce instead of a brothy sauce. I usually double and triple the recipe and make extra sauce to accompany a side of pasta or potatoes. |

Garlic & Lemon Butter Shrimp by Nancy MiyasakiThis recipe for pan searing shrimp is one of my favorites. I adapted it from a Cooks Illustrated recipe. It is full of flavor and the shrimp will come out brown and slightly caramelized if you pan sear them as described. We tried two different recipes the same night and compared side by side. This was the consensus, but not… |

Pork Sausage with Braised Fennel by Nate ApplemanThis is one of our most popular dishes at SPQR. You can cook the sausage any way you like but I'd recommend frying it light extra virgin olive oil - should get to a nice dark brown color outside. Serve this with my Fried Brusseles Sprouts and pasta. Enjoy! |
