Pappardelle with braised lamb, mint & parmigiano reggiano. My wife ordered this... One taste and I knew she was gonna enjoy her entree. The flavor of this entree is incredible. A must order in my opinion.
2nd PASTA SPECIAL

This evening's special was a ground lam ragu paired with fettuccine. The pasta was excellent and prepared perfectly. The lamb was numski.
3rd PAPPARDELLE WITH BRAISED WILD BOAR RAGÚ

A perfect pairing between the wild boar and pappardelle. The boar was tender and flavorful.
REALLY GOOD
4th RIGATONI

Sunday gravy, baby back rib ragu, parmigiano reggiano. Rigatoni was the perfect consistency, and the ragu so meaty tasting.
5th TAGLIATELLE WITH BEEF & PORK RAGU
Luce, Portland
This pasta dish is excellent. The ragu was very meaty.
6th ORECCHIETTE

Orecchiette with Italian sausage, black kale, roasted tomatoes & smoked pecorino. The balance of all of the ingredients was very good. The portion size was perfect for dinner.
9th PASTA CARBONARA

This was my entreé choice for dinner. Linguini tossed in a creamy parmesan & egg sauce with crisped pork, finished with shaved parmesan cheese.
10th CAJUN CHICKEN LINGUINI
Petite Provence Boulangerie & Patisserie, Portland
This was the special of the evening. My wife really enjoyed it. The serving was generous. The pasta-chicken ration was good.
12th PASTA AND MEATBALL BAKE

Ordered with a cup of tomato & basil soup.
14th MEAT LOVER'S TREAT
The Old Spaghetti Factory, Clackamas
Italian sausage, meatballs & spaghetti in a rich meat sauce.
15th CHICKEN MACCHERONI & BROCCOLI
L'Osteria, Boston
The portion was plenty for a heavy lunch. The pasta was perfect for me and the chicken & broccoli made for a great combo.
17th CHICKEN GIARDINO
Olive Garden Italian Restaurant, Portland
I was pleasantly surprised by this dish. Overall it was better than I thought it would be. Grilled chicken & a medley of fresh vegetables tossed with ruffled pappardelle pasta in a light lemon herb sauce. The portion is fairly generous.
18th ZOODLES PRIMAVERA WITH SHRIMP
Olive Garden Italian Restaurant, Portland
My wife ordered this entreé. Zucchini noodles tossed in a light basil cream sauce with broccoli, carrots, seasoned tomatoes, roasted red peppers & mushrooms. She enjoyed it, but felt the zucchini pasta portion was smaller than she liked and there were way too many roasted red peppers.
