Too Much Garlic in the Chicken Rollantini

Joey orders pizza after Sandra attempts to cook him an Italian meal.

What happens when you make your husband-to-be chicken rollantini without measuring the correct amount of garlic powder to put in the Italian recipe? He friggin' orders pizza for dinner instead.

Episode 5 of VH1's My Big Friggin' Wedding showed Lynbrook's Sandra Venturi and Joey Cimino once again bickering — this time about food. Venturi decides to make Cimino a nice Italian meal, which is met by his laughter and sarcasm.

"Boy, am I glad I ordered the pizza as a backup. I couldn't get mad at the garlic thing," Cimino said. "It was hysterical seeing Sandra dump it in and play it off like it was okay. Even the camera crew was like, 'wow'. By the way, her face was priceless when she tried it for herself."

Defending her culinary skills, Venturi admitted to putting her best cooking hands forward. Who needs a friggin' measuring spoon anyway? Venturi certainly didn't.

"It wasn't that bad. I'm used to healthy food. The film crew sampled it and they said it wasn't that bad, maybe they were really hungry or being nice," said Venturi, "To be honest, I usually do it by eye but this time around, it came out a little fast. I was hoping Joey didn't see it — of course that was the one thing he zeroed in on."

Venturi decided that cooking chicken ratolini is not a meal she plans to make again. She plans to stick to what she friggin' knows. "Grilling, baking, salads and anything I can cook in a NuWave oven," she said.

Tune into VH1 on Monday at 9 p.m. to see next week's drama-filled episode.
