The Marilyn Monroe Pasta — The Dish Everyone's Talking About at Pat's Pizza
There Are Dishes You Order. Then There Are Dishes You Tell People About.
The Marilyn Monroe Pasta is the second kind.
It has become one of the most talked-about, most photographed, and most re-ordered dishes at Pat's Pizza The Concept Cuisine in Kennett Square, PA. Guests who discover it for the first time come back specifically for it. Regulars build their visit around it. It has been called "the best pasta I've ever had" more times than we can count — and every single time we read that, we smile, because we know exactly why.
This is that dish. And this is its story.
What Is the Marilyn Monroe Pasta?
The Marilyn Monroe is a bow-tie pasta dish — farfalle tossed in a rich, velvety creamy garlic sauce and layered with:
Grilled chicken — seasoned and cooked to order
Fresh Kennett mushrooms — sourced locally from the Mushroom Capital of the World, right here in Kennett Square
Baby spinach — wilted gently into the sauce for depth and color
Cherry tomatoes — halved and folded in for a bright, fresh contrast
The result is a bowl that is creamy without being heavy, rich without being overwhelming, and satisfying in a way that genuinely lingers. It's the kind of pasta that makes you set your fork down mid-bite just to appreciate it.
Why the Name?
Because great things deserve a name that matches their personality.
Marilyn Monroe was iconic. Effortlessly beautiful. The kind of presence that commanded attention in any room. This pasta has that same energy — it doesn't try too hard, it doesn't need to. It walks into the room and you notice it. You remember it. You come back for it.
Every dish on our Concept Cuisine menu is named with intention. The name isn't just a label — it's a promise about the experience you're about to have.
The Ingredient That Makes It Extraordinary: Kennett Mushrooms
Most restaurants can make a creamy pasta. Not every restaurant is located in the Mushroom Capital of the World.
Kennett Square, Pennsylvania produces more mushrooms than anywhere else in the United States. Fresh, locally grown Kennett mushrooms have a depth of flavor that imported or mass-distributed mushrooms simply cannot replicate. When we say our mushrooms are fresh — we mean sourced close to home, arriving in peak condition, and going into your bowl the same day.
That difference is subtle when you describe it. It is unmistakable when you taste it.
