Can you PLEASE help me with this dish?

Question

We used to have an italian restaurant here in san antonio called bacconi's. I think they closed down. Well, they had this dish called a spicy pepperroni pasta. It is kind of a moist to dry dish. I know some of the ingredients are diced tomatoes, pepperroni, italian sausage. But I can't seem to replocate this dish. Does anyone know how to make this dish? Please help if you can or if yaw'll have any ideas. Thanks for yaw's help in advance.

Answer 3

I have no idea what you mean by a "moist to dry dish." But maybe these recipes will help. I don't see why you couldn't add some pepperoni to any of these dishes.


Bolognese Sauce, Olive Garden

4 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 ea Onion, Carrot, Celery stick finely chopped

2 tsp Chopped Rosemary
2 tsp Chopped Sage

Heat oil in a large pan. Add celery, carrot, onion, garlic and cook gently about 5 minutes.

Pasta Puttanesca

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
4 to 6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tin flat anchovy fillets, drained
½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
20 oil-cured black olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
3 Tbsp. capers
1 (32-oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 (14.5-oz) can diced tomatoes, drained
A few grinds black pepper
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 pound spaghetti, cooked to al dente
Crusty bread, for mopping
Grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Romano, for garnish

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add oil, garlic, anchovies, and crushed pepper. Saute mixture until anchovies melt into oil and completely dissolve and garlic is tender, about 3 minutes: your kitchen never smelled so good! Add olives, capers, tomatoes, black pepper, and parsley. Bring sauce to a bubble, reduce heat, and simmer 8 to 10 minutes.

Toss sauce with cooked pasta. Pass bread and cheese at the table. Serve w/ salad of baby greens, simple dressed.

Answer 5

See if you can locate anyone who worked there, especially in the kitchen. Try a want ad. in the paper, or ask at the paper as they would likely know if that restaurant closed and who the owners were, or the chamber of commerce. The owners might still be around.
