Your Oyster Recipe of the Day: Drago’s Oyster Pasta. The Oyster Obsession Facebook group’s love of Drago’s charbroiled oysters is well-established. It’s one of the most popular recipes featured on Oyster Obsession. But what about Drago’s poached oysters with Alfredo and Bordelaise sauce on angel hair pasta? This adaptation from Louisiana Seafood starts with jarred Alfredo sauce, so it’s easy enough for a weeknight dinner.
The linked recipe serves 12. Below, I’ve adapted it to serve 4 (just in case you don’t want to start with a gallon of oysters). Use the Drago’s recipe when you’re at home, but when you’re near New Orleans, you MUST check out the real thing.
