Chicken Parmigiana and Spaghetti Combo
Aka the combo of all combos!
This is a remake of a dish from one of my favourite spots in Sydney, a Newtown institution - Italian Bowl!
My friends and I have been going here for as long as we could drive and it is our favourite spot! Their chicken parmigiana and spaghetti arrabbiata combo is our favourite so I knew i had to re-create it!
It sounds like a lot, but it just works! The cheesey parmigiana with the spicy spaghetti arrabiatta is honestly a match made in heaven!
If you ever get a chance to visit Italian Bowl, make sure you do! Until then you must try this - so delicious!
