Pasta Milano Soup

Any Romano’s Macaroni Grill restaurant fans out there? One of my favorites on their menu is the Pasta Milano. Bow-tie pasta topped with a creamy sauce of grilled chicken, roasted garlic, mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes. As I was thinking about what to cook today (food is something that’s almost always on my mind), I saw my jar of sun-dried tomatoes in the fridge and my thoughts took off from there…pasta…pasta with sun-dried tomatoes…roasted garlic…creamy…Pasta Milano…how about a Pasta Milano SOUP? The thought was intriguing and so I set about trying to recreate the Pasta Milano taste and prepare it in the form of a rich, creamy and satisfying soup. The end result was a hit! And you’re going to love it!
Alternatively, instead of soup you can add more flour to thicken it into a sauce and serve it over pasta.
Macaroni Grill fans, what do you think?
