Cincinnati, Ohio

Called the “Queen City of the West,’ Cincinnati sits along the Ohio River, nestled into low rolling hills. Long an important river port town, Cincinnati was settled largely by Germans, and by the mid-1800s, was known as “Porkopolis” because of its importance as a meat-packing place. Cincinnati’s German heritage remains on display in the food-friendly festivals (Over-the-Rhine) and beer gardens (Mecklenburg Gardens). Cincinnati marks the unofficial crossing point between the South and Midwest. Modern residents of Cincinnati can boast of a trademark dish: Cincinnati Chili. It comes any of "five ways": as a straight-up bowl of chili, served over spaghetti, and topped with beans, cheese and/or onions. It is thought to have been the invention of Greek or Bulgarian immigrants to Cincinnati.

Chicken Rotini Stovetop Casserole

Reviewed on Jan. 3, 2009 by jenonymous
Pretty good! I didn't have peppers, so I used onions and frozen broccoli/ cauliflower, sauteing the onions with the chicken and then tossing in the frozen vegetables at the end (put a lid on it, they steamed nicely and even caramelized a little--and they could also be added to the pasta at the end of the boiling, two birds with one stone). My half-and-half separated as soon as it heated, so I ended up thickening the sauce with a little flour/water before pouring it over. Though it wasn't creamy, it tasted fine. I added minced garlic in with the herbs, and the sauce didn't look pretty but it smelled heavenly. Then our dinner guest was a little late, so I put it in the oven topped with mozzarella to stay hot. Everyone liked it, most people had seconds, though if I make it again I'm going to add a lot more seasoning.
