macaroni grill bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
12 medium shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
Salt and white pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons plain dry bread crumbs
5 1/2 cups fresh spinach, washed
1 (6-ounce) box angel-hair pasta
1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts


1. In a large non-reactive skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for
about 30 seconds.
2. Add the shrimp and sauté about 30 seconds or until the shrimp is just half cooked.
3. Add the wine and, using a wooden spoon, stir to loosen any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Let cook 2
minutes, stirring, to finish cooking the shrimp and reduce the liquid. Remove the shrimp to a
warm plate and cover with foil.
4. Add the heavy cream to the pan and let cook 3 minutes to reduce. Stir in the lemon juice. Remove the pan from
the heat and add the remaining chilled butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring in the next piece after the one
before it has just melted.
5. Season with the salt and pepper and stir in the bread crumbs. Return the pan to the heat, add the spinach and
cook, stirring, 1-1/2 minutes or just until the spinach has wilted.
6. Add the shrimp and stir to coat and heat through.
7. To serve, divide the angel-hair pasta between two warmed serving dishes or bowls. Arrange the shrimp on top,
spoon the remaining contents of the pan equally over the tops and sprinkle with the pine nuts.
To toast the pine nuts:
1. Spread nuts in a single layer on a baking pan and bake in a preheated 350°F oven 6-8 minutes or until
slightly browned. Shake the pan once or twice to toast the nuts evenly.

Cream cheese frosting recipe

cream cheese frosting recipe image

cream cheese frosting recipe
4 (8-ounce) packages regular cream cheese, at room temperature
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 extra-large large eggs
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream


1. Preheat the oven to 350*F (180*C) and generously butter a 9-inch spring-form pan. Make the batter for the
sponge cake as the recipe directs. Evenly spread the batter on the bottom of the pan and bake just until set and
golden, about 10 minutes. Place the cake on a wire rack to cool (don’t remove it from the pan).
2. While the cake cools, make the cream cheese filling: Place one 8-ounce package of the cream cheese, 1/3 cup
of the sugar, and the cornstarch in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until creamy, about 3
minutes. Then beat in the remaining 3 packages of cream cheese.
3. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat in the remaining 1 1/3 cups of the sugar, and then beat in the vanilla.
Blend in the eggs, one at a time, beating the batter well after adding each one. Blend in the heavy cream. At this
point mix the filling only until completely blended (just like they do at Junior’s). Be careful not to over mix the
batter.
4. Gently spoon the cheese filling on top of the baked sponge cake layer. Place the spring-form pan in a large
shallow pan containing hot water that comes about 1-inch up the sides of the pan. Bake the cheesecake until the
center barely jiggles when you shake the pan, about 1 hour.
5. Cool the cake on a wire rack for 1 hour. Then cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate until it’s
completely cold, at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove the sides of the spring-form pan. Slide the cake off the
bottom of the pan onto a serving plate. Or if you wish, simply leave the cake on the removable bottom of the pan
and place it on a serving plate. If any cake is left over, cover it with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.

Strawberry cheesecake recipe

strawberry cheesecake recipe image

strawberry cheesecake recipe
Thin Sponge Cake Layer for Cheesecake:
1/2 cup cake flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
3 extra-large eggs, separated
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 drops pure lemon extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar


1. Preheat the oven to 350*F (180*C) and generously butter a 9-inch spring-form
pan. Sift the cake flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium-sized bowl
and set aside.
2. Beat the egg yolks together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed
for 3 minutes. Then, with the mixer still running, gradually add the 1/3 cup of
the sugar and continue beating until thick light-yellow ribbons form in the
bowl, about 5 minutes more. Beat in the vanilla and lemon extracts.
3. Sift the flour mixture over the batter and stir it in by hand until no more
white flecks appear. Then blend in the butter.
4. In a clean bowl, using clean dry beaters, beat the egg whites and cream of
tartar together on high speed until frothy. Gradually add the remaining 2
tablespoons sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form (the whites should
stand up in stiff peaks but not be dry). Stir about 1/3 cup of the whites into
the batter, then gently fold in the remaining whites - don’t worry if a few
white specks remain.
5. Gently spoon the batter into the pan. Bake the cake just until the center of the
cake springs back when lightly touched, only about 10 minutes (watch carefully).
Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack while you continue making the
cheesecake filling. Do not remove the cake from the pan.
