I submit for your inspection Steve Cropper’s Linguine with Cream Sauce recipe cooked by Elizabeth Josephine. Last night here on the Georgia Coast, Elizabeth Josephine prepared a Steve Cropper dish for kicks. Of course, Cropper is a music legend. Among many musical accomplishments, he co-wrote “Sitting On The Dock of the Bay” with Otis Redding and a long list of others. You all know his work.
I interviewed Cropper years ago. That timeless interview can be read in my book, Insured Beyond The Grave. I obtained this recipe (along with 40 others) from Memphis musician Don Nix’s book, Road Stories and Recipes, which I heard about through Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes (another story in Vol. 2).
Elizabeth handled most of the cooking. I did some prep work, but not much. She ranks as a cook of the highest order. Some of her homemade dishes she’s cooked for me include pizza alla Puttanesca, venison spaghetti, potato leek soup, greens, black-eyed peas & pork chops and cornbread. Her cornbread ranks in the Top 3 I’ve ever eaten.
Cropper’s recipe is simple. You can read his notes.
