Rigatoni Calabrese Recipe
My husband and I have been to a certain Italian restaurant which overlooks the lake at Disney Springs for many years, through several changes of name. Whether it was called Portobello Yacht Club or Portobello Italian Trattoria, we returned time and again forItalian cuisine in a relaxed setting that nonetheless maintained an air of easygoing elegance. My husband loved the Rigatoni Calabrese so much that I requested the recipe and shared it here for all to enjoy.
Time marches on, and with time comes change. Our favorite Italian spot has transformed once more to become Terralina Crafted Italian, themed after the cuisine and decor of Italy’s Lake District.
In addition to the changes at the restaurant, I’ve changed too: after many long months of unexplained illness, I was finally diagnosed as gluten intolerant last year. At first, I worried. How would I enjoy Italian food? How would I order old favorites like the Rigatoni Calabrese, a long-time menu item that made it through to the new menu for Terralina Crafted Italian?
Luckily, it turned out that I was in good hands when we ventured out in the rain to visit Terralina Crafted Italian. Chef Justin Plank swapped out the standard rigatoni pasta for certified gluten free rotini from Banza.
