I will get you the recipe it is from david rocco

 

GNUDI ALL'ACQUA 2


print

1 large bunch raw spinach, chopped
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for smearing hands (74ml)
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 lb fresh ricotta cheese (450g)
4 tablespoons freshly grated parmigiano cheese, plus extra for sprinkling (57g)
salt to taste
small quantity of flour, if needed
20 cherry tomatoes, halved
4-8 fresh basil leaves, chopped


To start your Gnudi all'Acqua 2:



Preheat oven to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit.


Sautí spinach with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and half the quantity of the garlic for a few minutes until soft. Let cool.


Then in a bowl, combine ricotta, spinach, parmigiano and salt. Add a small amount of flour, a little at a time, only if ricotta if filled with too much moisture.


Combine mixture thoroughly.


Smear some olive oil on your hands. Scoop mixture, in the amount of an egg, onto the palm of your hands and form into a compact ball. Repeat until mixture is consumed.


In a saucepan, heat up remaining olive oil, then add remaining garlic, cherry tomatoes and basil and cook for approximately 5 minutes.


Spoon half the sauce into a baking dish, then add the gnudi balls and top with the remaining sauce.


Sprinkle with parmigiano and cook for approximately 10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

 

This is one of those recipes I really didnt have to follow. It is all done by eye, at least that is how I did it. Real easy and delicious!!!

 

Sangria...Hardscrabble style.

 

^^^You will just have to make sure that after you brown the sausage you drain it really well and let it cool down. The hardest part and this batch wasnt really all that dry was to make sure you get the ricotta balls to form. You really have to make sure it is dry. But I bet sausage would be really good in them.

 

Here is dinner tonight, grilled yellow and green zucchini with grilled strip steak and a salad. The salad has peeled oranges so there is no skin,purple kalamata olives,red onion chopped kind of big, basil chopped kind of big, and anchovies chopped if you like them!!!!! I dont really like anchovies but in this recipe they were delicious!!! INSALATA DI ARANCE E ACCIUGHE ( for you David Rocco fans and some one learning Italian...)

Here is the squash and zucchini grilling, used the mandolin to slice them perfectly.


Here it is plated with the grilled strip steak ( I thought that I took a picture of the steak on the grill but I didnt)



Here is the salad, man it was good!!!

 

beef taco salad. she used salsa and sour cream mixed to make a "dressing" if you will... it was delicious

 

How do you do your lighting? Bounce off the ceiling or off-camera with a softbox?

 

Ahhh, they just keep on giving!

Everyone's favorite kitchen crazies, Amy's Baking Company, in talks to get their own reality TV show.

I weep for the future. This is what ....whatever Honey Boo Boo is, hath wrought us.

 

This was just posted in the funny pics thread, but it rings true. I may have to go sign up for the cause. The state of tv and what people find entertaining is disgusting. No way in hell Amy should stay in business much less profit tremendously from a tv show.

 

Just got done eating this - Thai stir fry with leftover pork and brisket and no rice. Headed into week 3 of paleo diet and down about 12 lbs.

 

Banana Cream Pie ? Good recipe or link ? Thanks

 

forgot about this thread

 

Hopefully you like it, it was light and fresh... Make sure you make them dry enough.

 

Here's some finger licking good chicken wings i grilled this evening.

 

So, the wifey decided that we should try some new stuff at home tonight. She goes out and gets me a grill pan from BB&B, then stop sat the Boys (a giant, well known, well stocked, and thoroughly awesome farmers market type place) and dumps about 38 pounds of assorted fruits, veggies, meats, and lord only knows what else on the counter.

Thinking quickly, I decide on home-made fajitas, and some stir-fry!

Toss a half-pound of ground chuck with fajita seasoning, diced onions/peppers/garlic...I love fresh grated sharp cheddar and tangy sour cream...



Bell peppers. Sweet onions & white onions. Fresh zucchini. Slice and dice the veggies, drizzle with decent olive oil and sprinkle on some kosher salt..... slice thin and long some fresh eye round scraps from my friend at the butcher, toss with fresh ground pepper, salt, and some Montreal steak seasoning...




Out to the grill!



Jasmine rice with stock, not water...Barely medium but still tender beef...



Home made stir fry, just add a drizzle of soy sauce



(Shitty cell phone pics don't do it justice. Maybe one of these days I'll get a real camera)
