I love this easy, tasty pasta dish. If you add a nice green salad, it is a complete meal. It can be made with mussels as well but if you can’t get good shellfish, you can make it with just shrimp. I cook the shrimp first because I like it with a sear on it and not just cooking it in the sauce, but it is up to you.

Love this Roasted Heirloom Tomato Soup
I will preface this recipe by saying I never liked tomato soup probably because the only thing I ever saw was a can of tomato soup (Campbell’s). Mike loves grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. When I finally decided that I really like tomatoes, I figured that it was time to make my own. I used a couple of recipes but found my little shortcuts worked just fine. I don’t salt things as much as the various cookbooks so you can add more than I do. I love this tomato soup and so has everyone else that has tried it so I hope you will enjoy it.
Conflicted About Michael’s On East
We visited Michael’s on East for our anniversary because we heard it is one of the best (if not the best) restaurant in Sarasota. I have to say that the food is very good as is its wine list (definitely the best we have seen here so far). I made a reservation about 2 weeks in advance on Open Table. I even mentioned it was our anniversary.
It is hard to find Michael’s because unless someone tells you exactly where it is because you don’t know the front of the restaurant is the back of a mall. It is beside an aging atrium that needs to be updated.
