Hi Everyone,
This month I am adding Pumpkin and Sage Ravioli with Sage Butter to my menu. I roasted the pumpkins this morning and the raviolis look beautiful. I also started making my two soups: Red Soup (or chicken soup if you didn’t grow up in my family) and Pasta Fasule – panchetta, beans, carrots, celery, tomatoes, pasta…very hearty.
Because the Pork Involtini are so expensive to make and in order to reduce waste, I am making a few dozen of them on Wednesdays and when they are gone, well, they are gone until the following Wednesday. So many people love them, but I can never predict when they will order, so I am trying this procedure in order to keep them on the menu.
Mamma Dolci is making my tiramisu now, so I will have it all the time…except when I don’t…;-)
My next cooking class is Saturday, November 15th at 8 p.m. We will be making Limoncello, an Italian lemon liquor. Each person will also be making their own fresh pasta,…yes I am giving away my secrets…and we will make a cherry tomato sauce (scuie, scuie) when we boil up some of it. We will also be using the limoncello to make a fabulous flourless torte made with almonds. One of my favorites. Cost for the class is $50.
If you are having a holiday party, consider letting me help you with your preparations. Check out our website for a larger list of items and I’m even willing to brainstorm for other ideas, but here are just a few: stuffed mushrooms, tortellini kabobs, mini-meatballs, lasagna, chicken bianco.
If you would like to receive my monthly menu and newsletter along with a very special coupon send me an e-mail requesting to be on the list at
We will be closed Wednesday, November 26 – Sunday, November 30 for Thanksgiving.
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.
Donna
