Pasta day!


Sorry I've been such a posting slacker - this relocation is taking up a good deal of my time. Last Thursday I had a big pasta making day with some old neighbors - what fun! I've definitely concluded that pasta making is more fun as a group effort! Since October when I was laid off, we've had various joint cooking days - bread making, gnocchio making, etc - I'm going to miss my cooking buddies dearly. Good think I have virtual buddies like you guys!

We ended up making whole wheat spaghetti, spinach linguine, and a sweet ravioli. I just used a basic tomato sauce with the spaghetti. I made Steve a Valentine's dish with the the spinach linguine - topped it with seared scallops, shallots and a white wine sauce. (I am more creative with my seafood than just scallops - but they are Steve's fave. I've posted 2 scallop dishes on here now - enough!) The ravioli was interesting it had some confectioners sugar in the dough and then was filled with a sweet cream cheese filling and topped with a chocolate ganache sauce. We made heart shaped raviolis since it was Valentine's day.

I'm having problems finding the pork belly - but I'm off to search more today or tomorrow!

Have a great weekend!

This looks fabulous;makes me want to go to my favorite italian joint for dinner! You're awesome. I am a bit envious of your pasta making skills having only tried traditional egg pastas (and even then only a few times). If its straightforward enough to write out a tutorial I'd greatly appreciate it (e.g., what type of machine you use, what you use for spinach and whole wheat pastas, dos and don'ts).

Eatery proprietors have the test of staying aware of the circumstances, giving more advantageous choices and in some cases ecologically neighborly destinations, as "62 percent of grown-ups said they are probably going to settle on an eatery decision in light of how earth benevolent an eatery is," states the National Restaurant Association. payday loans chula-vista
