What is this Italian recipe call?

Question

I had it once when this Italian guy I dated at the time made it for me. I want to make it again, but I don't know what it is called and I can't remember all the ingredients to it. If anyone out there knows this dish, I would really appreciate it if I could have the recipe to this. Here are some of things I can remember about it. It has shrimp in it with a cream cheese sauce and it is put into a bowl that is made out of bread.

Well... he said that this dish (and some other italian) is something that you won't find in most american-italian restrants. He said that his grand-mother use to make this for him.

Answer 1

He may have made a version of this omitting the pipette pasta and using firm Italian Rolls instead - a classic NY choice of street vendors. Hope this helps!

Pipette Rigate and a Shrimp Cream Sauce: Shrimp and cream work remarkably well together, and this pasta dish is perfect for a romantic occasion.
INGREDIENTS:
14 ounces (350 g) pipette or similar short pasta
8 ounces (200 g) scampi -- these are prawns, though one could make do with shrimp
10 cherry tomatoes
1/3 cup heavy cream
Minced parsley
Sweet butter
Salt and pepper to taste.
PREPARATION:
Set pasta water to heat, and when it reaches a boil salt it and add the pasta.

Blanch, and peel the tomatoes, and cut them in half, discarding the seeds.

In the meantime, shell the prawns and chop the flesh. Sauté the prawns in a walnut-sized chunk of butter for a couple of minutes, then add the cream and the tomatoes. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, adding a little more cream or milk should the sauce be over thick, and check seasoning. By now the pasta should be done; drain it, toss it with the sauce to coat it, dust it with the minced parsley, and serve.

Answer 2

we do not usually use cheese with anything coming from sea.

I know shrimps with "salsa rosa" (salsa rosa is a mixuture of "maionese" and ketcup).

You put on the bottom some salad, then a little bit of "salsa rosa" and than shrimps.

Answer 3

There are several things that this could be. Do they break the bread and dip it in this sauce? A little extra help would be appreciated

Answer 4

Are you sure it is Italian.. never heard of it.
