Pasta All 'Amatriciana




We made a Salad with Dates, Parmesan Cheese and Hazelnuts as a first course. The combination is a winner. For the main course we made one of my favorite Pastas: PASTA ALL 'AMATRICIANA. We use the recipe from the Zuni Café Cookbook. This is truly a wonderful dish. You can find the recipe on our blog of: November 21, 2007. Click the date to get the recipe.

Pasta Failure




We cooked this Pasta from a recipe in The New York Times. We didn't like it. We won't publish the recipe. Sometimes the magic works and sometimes it doesn't. It looks good in the picture, eyes can be deceiving.

Sausage and Polenta



What's better on a cold night than Sausage and Polenta? We purchased the Sausages and McCall's Meat and Fish. The recipe can be found on our blog of: June 9, 2014. The dried Porcini's give this dish a special earthy taste. We also like it because it reheats so easily. One of our favorite dishes.

Cheese Soufle Garlic soup




We had left over Garlic Soup. You can get the recipe for the soup from four blog of: March 18, 2012. Click the date to get the recipe.

With the soup we made a Cheese Soufflé using our favorite Julia Child recipe. You can get the recipe from our blog of: February 15, 2013. Click the date to get the recipe. The soufflé was made all the better because we used Parmesan Cheese that our friend Guillermo had brought us from Italy. It made a difference. I know we always buy Parmesan Cheese that is imported, but where ever Guillermo is getting his, is better than what we can buy in Los Angeles. Glad we have him a supplier!
