Recco Con Pollo
I’ve always loved a good fusion dish. Recco Con Pollo takes what is gorgeous and flavourful from India with the awesomeness Italy brings – curried pasta! This was my go-to order from Primi Piatti and when they closed, I knew I had to take matters into my own kitchen. I like serving it with penne, but what’s available in the cupboard usually gets the winning vote. Enjoy with loved ones who miss Primi Piatti, too!
