“OCCHI ROSSI” – THICK SPAGHETTI WITH RED EYE GRAVY, GULF SHRIMP, COUNTRY HAM, AND FRIED OKRA
Recipe courtesy of Chef Yury Krasilovsky.Whether it’s in traditional kugels at Brooklyn diners, or simple bowls of spaghetti and meatballs all over the country, pasta has long been a staple on the diner scene. This dish from Barilla Chef Yury Krasilovsky brings together the diner classic coffee-infused “red eye” gravy, made with traditional country ham, and elevates it with head-on shrimp and cornmeal-battered okra. Barilla Thick Spaghetti soaks up the sauce and provides an Italian “al dente” accent.
