    Did you steal this recipe from Jimmy Tango?

    Whatever happened to that guy anyway?...

    Well, I think if you post this to rfc, everyone here in rfc
    qualifies.

    I think Felice meant to type "rfr."

    Some of the recipes that get posted there are scary, or have
    serious typographic errors (like 2 Tbsp baking soda when it
    should be 2 tsp of baking powder.) That's why I don't like
    the recipes only format -- there's no way to discuss a
    dubious recipe. It's hard as hell to get a correction
    posted, and the correction comes along a week later.

    I'm well aware of the controversy about a dish called
    Chicken Scampi, it's chicken in the same sauce as Shrimp
    Scampi. I have no problem or confusion about what I'm
    getting when I order it.

    But this weekend I saw an Olive Garden ad, Chicken Scampi
    in a garlic cream sauce! Huh? Cream? Even I can't go along
    with that.

    Ah!! Gotcha. I was puzzled, I really should wait until I
    actually wake up to post. (laugh) Then I was wondering what
    poor soul posted that recipe here. Thanks for clearing that
    up for me.

    Oops! it should be rfr, of course. I must have been thinking
    how the rfc readers would enjoy the recipe!

    Olive Garden is a scam. If I want microwaved food I can eat
    it at home.

    Scampi used to mean a butter sauce, but lately (even before
    Olive Garden) it's been used to describe a thicker cream-
    based sauce. It's really not all that bad unless you're
    expecting simply butter and garlic.

    Chicken scampi is the only thing I've ever eaten at OG, and
    it really isn't bad except that they used these pre-fab
    "chicken tenders".

    I can see how people who don't cook and like to go out for
    dinner like Olive Garden.

    Not trying to re-ignite the Alfredo war again but try this
    method of making Alfredo:

    boil your fettuccine, when almost done place a half cup of
    the best quality butter you can find on a heated plate. Add
    a cup of freshly grated reggiano cheese or the best fresh
    parmesan you can find. Remove the al dente pasta from the
    water and place it straight onto the butter and cheese with
    just a little bit of the pasta water. Let it soften for a
    minute. Then toss it with a cup of fresh cream until smooth
    and creamy. Some serve with a tiny bit of fresh grated
    nutmeg or black pepper.

    That's Alfredo. Fresh, fast, fattening and incredibly
    delicious.

    These days, a forlorn dish. Adherents of low-fat diets won't
    eat it because of the high fat content, and low-carbers
    won't eat it because of the carbohydrates.

    Actually, Alfredo is perfectly acceptable on a low-carb
    diet. What you put it ON, however, is different: instead of
    on pasta, it's broccoli, mushrooms, chicken (or a
    combination of all three).

    That's good, 'cause it leaves more for us high-fat high-carb
    guys that nothing sticks to! 😄
