Did I let you know that Ben and I snuck off to New York Metropolis for just a few days this previous December? I shared some pictures on Instagram shortly after the journey, however don’t suppose I ever shared about it right here on the mothership.
I get a flutter in my chest excited about the expertise – visiting NYC in the course of the holidays has been on my bucket checklist for years so it’s not an exaggeration to say the journey was a dream come true. We have been there for 2-1/2 days, walked between 11 and 14 miles per day (even on our half day!) and checked off every thing on our must-see/do checklist — after which some!
We drank cocktails in historic bars, strolled Central Park and the Excessive Line, noticed Lin Manuel Miranda’s thoughts blowing off-broadway present Freestyle Love Supreme, loved a $2.75 waterfront cruise of the town (ie took benefit of the New York Ferry – greatest stored secret in NYC!), visited with family and friends, and had among the finest meals of our lives on the fully gluten free restaurant, Senza Gluten.
When you have Celiac Illness or a meals allergy/intolerance, you may most likely perceive the overwhelming feeling of opening a restaurant menu realizing you may order something inside. Shifting your mindset to what you GET to order, vs what you HAVE to order at a restaurant is extraordinarily weird, however as soon as Ben and I received into it, there was no stopping us. 😉 We ordered every thing after which some. The calamari was the very best we’ve ever had – GF or not – the cocktails have been on level, the aspect dishes memorable, and the entrees unimaginable.
I ordered the Rigatoni Funghi e Speck: gluten free rigatoni in a decadent cream sauce with combined mushrooms, smoked prosciutto, and truffle oil. I about requested Ben to pinch me to make sure that I used to be certainly nonetheless alive on planet earth. That’s to say, it was one of the vital memorable meals I’ve ever had — particularly since going gluten free — and our cozy, candle-lit trattoria environment was the cherry on high. It was magical, to say the least!
Again at residence I instantly went about recreating the meal at I had Senza Gluten, and the result’s a recipe that Ben has deemed my “greatest recipe but” (woo!)

You’ll really feel like a real chef after whipping up this spectacular but straightforward gluten free pasta dish!
Lightened Up Parmesan Cream Sauce
The key to reaching a thick but lighter (than a restaurant serves, anyway) cream sauce that adheres to the the pasta, is harnessing the facility of pasta cooking water. Including a number of the water that the pasta is cooked in whereas stirring the al dente pasta along with the creamy parmesan sauce permits the starch from the water to naturally thicken the sauce.
The sauce will go from skinny and separated from the pasta, to thick and clinging to the pasta, proper earlier than your eyes. In case you suppose it received’t occur, simply maintain stirring. I’ll present you under!
The way to Make Creamy Mushroom Parmesan Pasta

To the skillet add heavy cream and rooster inventory then carry to a simmer and stir in freshly shredded parmesan cheese till easy and creamy. Add contemporary child spinach then simmer till its barely wilted, only a minute or two.
Step 4: Add Pasta then Thicken Sauce
Use tongs to switch gluten free fettuccini that’s been cooked to al dente in a cooking pot subsequent door (timing directions are within the recipe card under) immediately into the skillet then use the tongs to softly and constantly stir the pasta till it turns into tender, and the sauce thickened and creamy.
Maintain including ~1/4 cup pasta cooking water a time then stirring constantly till you obtain a thickened sauce that adheres to the pasta. Like I mentioned, the pasta will look separated from the sauce, after which on the final minute the starches will trigger it to completely thicken and cling to the pasta. That’s when you recognize it’s achieved.
Flip off the warmth then add a squeeze of contemporary lemon juice — the dish shouldn’t style lemony, simply brightened — the bacon, plus loads of freshly cracked pepper, and salt to style. Scoop into bowls then high with extra parmesan cheese, if you happen to please, and serve. I hope you LOVE this style of New York made proper in your kitchen – get pleasure from!!
