Macaroni Grill Pasta Milano Copycat
I recieved this recipe of another site, and have not yet made it.
Let me know how it comes out...
4 pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breast
Wishbone Italian salad dressing
Bow Tie pasta
Alfredo sauce with roasted Garlic (home made or in a jar)
Sun dried tomatoes (packed in oil, yet drained very well)
small jar of sliced mushrooms
Marinate chicken overnight in Italian dressing. Grill and then
cut into strips. Cook pasta accordingly. While pasta is cooking,
Heat alfredo sauce and add the tomatoes and mushrooms. Once heated,
add the chicken, drain the pasta and then pour the sauce over the
pasta and toss.
Here is the recipe for the garlic sauce if you would like to make it,
rather than used jarred sauce.
10 cloves of garlic, rubbed with olive oil and roasted @ 350 degrees
until soft (approx 30 minutes)
1 cup white wine
1 sprig of rosemary and thyme
1 shallot peeled and sliced
6 peppercorns
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 Tbsp. butter
Squeeze the garlic out of each of the cloves and mash into a puree.
Put into saucepan with wine, thyme, rosemary, shallots, and peppercorns.
Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer until the liquid is reduced by 3/4.
Add the heavy cream, bring to a boil again, and simmer until reduced by
half. Add the butter, season with salt and pepper to taste. Finish with
chopped parsley.

FYI - this was published in Woman's Day 4/30/85
I managed to get the original recipe and found yours has a couple items
different, which effects the outcome of the mousse. (My husband quickly
pointed these out to me since he had the original made for him by mom!
I scanned the recipe in and attached it as a .pdf for you.
Thanks, Wendy

Hello Peter,
I believe that these are called "baps".
Did you try the recipes that are already on my site? See:
Baps
If you've already tried recipes that you found on the Internet, then
I'm likely to send you the same ones over again since I have no way
of knowing which ones you've tried. Also, I cannot say ahead of time
whether a given recipe will be soft or hard after baking.
I did find the first recipe below on a Scottish website and it does
say "soft." So try it first. There's another one below also. Keep in
mind that hardness of texture can be caused by ingredient substitutions
or by oven temperature variations and my not be a recipe problem.
Phaed
Baps
Baps are soft bread rolls eaten with jam or marmalade at breakfast time,
or with a filling of your choice for lunch.
Ingredients
500 g (1 lb.) strong plain flour
1 teaspoon salt
50 g (2 oz.) lard
25 g (1 oz.) fresh yeast or 15 g (1/2 oz.) dried yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
300 ml (1/2 pint) half milk and water, tepid
Milk, for glazing
Method
Sift the flour and salt into a large warmed bowl and rub in the lard.
Cream the yeast and sugar in another bowl, then add the tepid milk
and water mixture. Leave for 10 minutes, then make a well in the
centre of the flour mixture and pour in, making a soft dough. Cover
and leave to rise in a warm place for about an hour.
Knead lightly on a floured surface, then shape into ovals, each about
75 mm across. Place on a greased and floured baking sheet, brush with
warm milk or dust with flour before cooking.
Leave to rise for about 15 minutes, then push a finger into the centre
of each bap to prevent blistering. Bake in a hot oven, 400 degrees F,
Gas 6, for 15-20 minutes.
Makes about 10.
Weights And Measurements
Measurements are given in both metric and imperial - use one or other,
but do not mix them as conversions are not precise equivalents. Variations
should have little or no effect on the recipes.
One US cup is equivalent to 250 ml
or 8 fl. oz.
A level teaspoon equates to 5 ml;
a level dessertspoon equates to 10 ml
and a level tablespoon is equal to 15 ml.
-----------------------------
Aberdeen Butteries
1 lb. plain flour
1 oz. yeast or 1/2 tbs. dried yeast
1 tbs. sugar
1 cup butter
1/2 cup lard
1 1/2 cup water at blood heat
pinch of salt
Mix sifted flour and salt in basin.
Cream yeast with sugar.
When it bubbles, add to flour with water.
Mix well, cover, set in warm place until bulk doubles; about 1/2 hour.
Cream butter and lard together, divide into three parts.
Put dough on floured board, roll out into long strip.
Dot first third of fats on top third of pastry strip.
Fold over like an envelope as when making flaky pastry.
Roll out, repeat with other strips until all butter mixture is used up.
Roll out, cut in small oval shapes or rounds.
Lay on floured baking sheet, leave 2 inches between each to allow for expansion.
Cover as above, let rise 3/4 hour.
Bake for 20 minutes at 375°F (160°C) - 400°F (205°C).
