Bistro Style Entrees

Many customers have asked us to offer smaller portions, so these dishes have slightly smaller portions than we have typically given.

layers of fresh pasta sheets filled with roasted chicken, chopped spinach and three cheeses topped with a  mushroom sauce with diced proscuitto.  

 

Homemade Fettuccine with Baby Spinach and Beans
