PJ is often the beneficiary of my ever-evolving Italian cooking skills acquired from visits to Rome and Milan like this last trip in December. In addition to watching Zia Adrianna hone her skills, Lucy, Barbara, Chiara and I took a couple of days to drive to Milan. After touring one of Italy’s most beautiful and modern cities, we treated ourselves to an afternoon cooking class in the test kitchen of La Cucina Italiana magazine.
So tonight for dinner, Spinach ravioli served with a traditional brown butter and sage sauce. To solve the problem of an absence of protein, I stopped at Hannaford and picked up some Al Fresco chicken sausage seasoned with roasted peppers and Asiago cheese.

Why the blast of domesticity, you ask? Well, that’s the best part. I hope you will consider joining me at Café Miranda on Saturday morning, March 19th for a Pasta Throwdown between me and chef owner, Kerry Altiero. Café Miranda is known far and wide for their homemade pastas and specialty sauces featured on their eclectic menu. But last time we talked, Kerry challenged me after teasing me about my more traditional hand–rolled pasta making style.
The finished dish was quite delish!
Ciao for now!
