The Oldest Trick in the Book


We make this dish quite a bit for ourselves and our friends. It comes out great every time, hence the name.  To start we use the Harris Teeter brand Arrabiatta sauce over wheat pasta. We added grilled onions and green peppers this time around. We used a faux chicken product called DELIGHT SOY NUGGETS out of North Carolina. We like to fry the faux chicken in peanut oil first for crispiness. Then add to sauce as served. (Soy does not have the same properties as meat. Soy products tend to get soggy when cooked in liquids too long.) One of the salad dressings is simply olive oil and lemon juice. The white one is Brianna's Poppy Seed dressing. Tonight we threw blueberries and sunflower seeds on the salad to mix it up a bit. And now we'll leave you with the first two words we learned in Italy: Prego. Gratzi.

All these recipes sound scrumptious! Feel free to invite us over anytime! ;)
Also, I highly recommend the documentary King Corn for anyone looking for yet another reason not to eat meat! (It convinced me to get off commercial beef anyways.)

I think this is the best recipe ever. It is great for meat eaters and veg's alike because meat eaters can't tell they aren't eating meat! i am addicted to the chix nuggets and arriabata sauce after having this recipe. I am scared of the blueberries in the salad though.
