Had some Instagram messages and comments after posting with people saying they couldn’t believe it. But it’s true. I’ve eaten it, of course, begrudgingly, but never cooked the dish.
I’m not a big meatball fan (I would take Swedish meatballs in brown gravy over Italian any day) and growing up as an Italian I get VERY easily bored with pasta, especially spaghetti/linguini.

We enjoyed another fabulous dinner at Bistro D’Azur in South Orange, NJ.
We enjoyed pistachio crusted lamb chops with chermoula sauce and pink peppercorns; duck confit salad; tilefish with chorizo; tuna nicoise; Spanish chips, and an excellent dessert of bourbon sponge cake with cinnamon ice cream. It all went great with a couple of excellent red wines.

When we lived in southern CA, occasionally there was a Japanese variety of tomato sold by some of the vendors. It was pale red, smallish, sweet/tart, and delicious. I don’t recall the name - it’s been years. I try hard to buy all the farmer market tomatoes I can (if I haven’t grown my own crop) in the summertime. Rest of the year, I rely on canned for cooked preparations and occasionally buy cherry or kumato for raw preps. But not often. I find every other grocery tomato absolute rubbish when eaten raw.
That sounds new and interesting! Looks great.

It all looks great, but that ravioli!

That’s a good recipe. It’s versatile - I made it once with baked lemon chicken thighs. Yum.

Ditto. I’m not Italian but grew up in MA. The first thing I learned to cook was spaghetti. I still make it because hubs loves it, but I’m more like likely to eat my sauce with bread.

Thank you! The filet mignon ravioli with the black truffle butter sauce is outstanding and one of our favorite dishes. You can have it as an appetizer or entrée. We share it as an appetizer since it is so rich and decadent.

Had to laugh. I grow a whole bunch of herbs just outside my back door. I am often too lazy to go out and snip them, bring them in for wash and chop. So off to the dried herbs I go. It’s terrible!
