Famous Pasta Dish

This famous pasta dish, was originally created in San Francisco by Chef Nicholas Sabatini somewhere between 1908 and 1910. Named in honor of famous Italian opera singer, Luisa Tetrazzini.

Chicken tetrazinni is always a crowd pleaser as was she. Served with a yummy fresh tomato garlic side salad and a nice glass of Chianti wine to enhance the flavors. You don’t have to be rich or famous to enjoy this fabulous Italian pasta recipe!

Health Benefits:

Rosemary is a key herb in European herbal medicine. It’s known for strengthening the memory, aiding in fat digestion and relieving aching joints.

Italian Parsley is loaded with nutrition. Parsley is a good source of vitamin K, A, folic acid, vitamin C, potassium, as well as fiber. It also contains flavonoids which makes it a strong antioxidant, thus helping reduce free radicals and inflammation. Parsley has iron in it and is a natural breath freshener as well. It’s best to add it during the last few moments of cooking for the best flavor.
