Fall Salad and Pasta

Wine: Vigneti Massa Monleale 2003

We made a Radicchio Salad, composed of Radichio, Shallots, Apples, Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, Walnuts, Saba, Gorgonzola Cheese from Sunday Supper at Lucques cookbook. We made some changes adding apples and replacing the treviso with Radicchio. This is a great fall salad. It is easy to make and tastes of fall.

We then made Orecchiette Pasta, Broccoli Rabe, Sausage from Fra Mani that we purchased from Cube, Pecorino Cheese from The Cheese Store of Silverlake. The recipe is from Cooking with Master Chefs by Julia Child. This is a wonderful pasta dish and is vey earthy. It reheats especially well.
