On Monday, February 17^th, The Regency’s Award Winning Executive Chef, Pat Marone, cooked up something special for the Happy Hours Club of The Glen Cove Senior Center at The Marquis Rehabilitation and Nursing Center.
The Club, led by Lucy Van Horn, former Activities Coordinator at The Glen Cove Senior Center, was invited to The Marquis for lunch by Mary Suddell, The Marquis’ Community Relations and Marketing Liaison.  Mary also invited Chef Pat to come and do one of his much loved “Cooking Italian for Seniors Demonstrations” for the lively group.  He decided to make one of his most popular dishes, Penne alla Cognac.  Everyone enjoyed learning how to make this mouthwatering meal by watching Chef Pat’s animated demonstration (complete with flaming pan!)  And of course everyone REALLY loved tasting the pasta afterwards.  It was absolutely a hit!  Jennifer Barrett, The Regency’s Community Relations Director, distributed the recipe and raffled off 2 huge bowls of pasta to a couple of lucky winners to bring home to their families. Penne alla Cognac is a favorite of Regency residents who are treated to all of Chef Pat’s creations on a daily basis.  Please visit The Regency’s website at www.theregencyatglencove.com for the recipe and to see a video of the action.  You can find more of Chef Pat Marone’s recipes on idealchef.com and youtube.com. Bon Appetit!
