Hi
I was looking for the recipe for abuelos Papas, The side of potatoes(casserole) 
you can order instead of rice.

Thanks Shayne

Hello Shayne, Sorry, that restaurant recipe doesn't appear to be available. It's described as "a tasty potato casserole of four cheeses, whipped red potatoes, green chiles and green onions." There's an imitation here:

Do you have a recipe for shrimp fettucine????

Also i think we can copy cat the recipe..... 

Go to "Hell's kitchen finalist speak out- windows live". 
and scroll to when bonnie answers the questions "what sort of stuff are in the sauce" 
and she answers   can we reproduce it.. 

Prawn are larger shrimp  right ?.... and she uses fresh pasta  thank you Roxann   

I even wrote to Gordon Ramsey  but no recipe   I guess she is hiding it.. 

Hi Roxanne,

Well, it's worth a try. Here's what Bonnie says about it in that interview at

TVFilter

"Basically it's a cream sauce. I call it an elaboration on an Alfredo sauce. It's cream that's been reduced with Parmesan cheese. I have chopped prosciutto, jalapeno, sun-dried tomatoes and basil. It's just the best combination. I love things that have a little bit of spice. The jalapeno gives it a bit more of a burn. It's not overwhelmingly spicy. I love the prosciutto as well. It gives it a bit of a salty quality. The shrimp was a late addition. I never thought to make it a seafood dish before. I think it definitely compliments that sauce."

Roxann, below are several recipes with partially similar ingredients. You can add or subtract ingredients until you get a close approximation of her description. Let me know how it turns out!

Creamy pasta with sauteed prawns

From Bonnie 
http://tvnz.co.nz/good-morning-recipes-latest/creamy-pasta-sauteed-prawns-4032791?ref=emailfriend
 

Time: Prep 10 mins, cooking time approx 30 
Serves: 4-6 
Cost per person: Approx $7 per person 

Ingredients:

1 litre heavy whipping cream 
2 cloves minced garlic 
2/3 cup chopped pancetta (Italian bacon, prosciutto will also work)
1 small red or green chili, finely minced 
1/2 cup marinated sun-dried tomatoes, sliced 
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese 
1/2 cup basil, chopped or ripped into pieces 
2 cups prawns, shelled and deveined, defrosted if frozen 
3 Tbs canola or rice bran oil 
1 package of your favourite pasta (I prefer using fresh pasta such as fettucine) 
Olive oil, for drizzling over pasta

Method:

Pour cream in a sauce pan and add minced garlic and pancetta.  
Cook over medium heat until cream reduces and thickens, 
stirring every 10 minutes or so.  DO NOT let cream boil!

Once cream has reduced, add jalapeno, sun-dried tomatoes, 
parmesan, basil and pancetta and stir to incorporate.

Keep stirring until cheese has completely melted. Season with 
salt and pepper to taste.

While sauce is reducing, fill another large pot with water and 
add a generous handful of salt along with a drizzle of olive oil. 
Bring to a rapid boil and add pasta, stirring every few minutes 
and cook according to the directions on the package.

Once cooked, drain pasta and drizzle with a bit more olive oil 
and toss to combine. 

In a large sauté pan, heat canola/rice bran oil over medium high 
heat. Once oil looks slick, add prawns to pan and season with 
salt and pepper.  Cook until edges just turn slightly golden, then 
flip and repeat on the other side. 

Remove prawns from pan and place on a paper towel to drain 
some of the excess oil. 

Toss pasta with cream sauce and place prawns on top.  
Serve immediately

I found this recipe when I lived in Tulsa, Ok in the late 70's to early 80's. 
I clipped it out of the local newspaper or it may have come from the 
label of one of the ingredients. I have since misplaced it with several 
moves. I am not sure what the name of the recipe is but I can remember 
most of the ingredients.

It is a smothered steak with green chilies.
It used the following ingredients plus a few others that I can't remember.

round steak
jar Heinz beef gravy or brown gravy
can of green chilis
can of stewed tomatoes
chopped onion

I can't remember whether it was cooked on the stove in a skillet or if it 
was cooked in a crock pot.

Your help in locating this recipe is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Betty

Hi Betty,

Sorry, I cannot find a recipe that fits your description. The green chilis in particular are a hang-up. I'll post your request on the site, and perhaps one of the regulars can help.

The ingredients I can remember are as follows:- Mince Beef, Sachet of 
Stroganoff mix plus others, flattened out like as for Swiss Roll and filled 
with Ricotta and then rolled up and placed in microwave loaf dish.  
I cant remember any other ingredients but know there was more,

Hello Necia,

While there are dozens of recipes for microwave meatloaf, I cannot find even one that calls for stroganoff seasoning. Sorry.
