Vodka Rigatoni

Rachel Jurina — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 22:21:20 +0000

The history behind Vodka Rigatoni (or Rigatoni Alla Vodka, as it is also called) is somewhat unsettled. Some say it’s Italian, others say it’s decidedly Italian-American, but whatever the true history may be, one thing is certain: it is the kind of craveable comfort food that everyone adores. Our version is all that and more. The rich, velvety sauce coating al dente noodles makes you feel like Nonna’s favorite again.

Prosciutto And Arugula Tartine

The beauty of a Prosciutto and arugula tartine (just a fancy, classic name for an open-faced sandwich) is that it showcases beautiful ingredients in a carefully constructed manner, like artwork. It’s meant to be seen, to be admired, and then devoured. All good things must come to an end.

Sometimes Bitter is Better. Lamenting the biting cold weather? Take it out on your salad. Grilling bitter greens brings out their sweetness, and when paired with a tender, salty, cured meat, it becomes something else entirely. This citrus dressing, or citronette, makes more than you’ll need for this recipe, but it stores nicely for tomorrow night’s salad. Our grilled greens Fall salad with citrus dressing will surely become a favorite. See the Cook’s Note on choosing the right creamy, assertive cheese for this dish and the best kind of butternut squash to use.

Schiacciata con l’uva (Tuscan Grape Focaccia)

Hashtag Labs — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 13:10:29 +0000

In September, Italy turns its undivided attention to the grape harvest (vendemmia). Well, it’s not totally undivided. They always spend some time baking this bread, which means “flattened” or “squashed.” Wine grapes are sweeter, juicier, and less seedy than table grapes. They go in the bread. Walnuts are harvested at the same time, so they go in the bread. It’s very rustic, and it shouldn’t be fussed over. Schiacciata con l’uva (tuscan grape focaccia) is lovely with aged or runny cheeses, vin santo, and some Prosciutto. Harvest heist.

Everyone knows pizza-making is fun. But it’s also fantastically satisfying. With this classic recipe, you’ll have great dough nailed in no time.

So call the gang over and tell the cousins to bring their friends. Or put your kids to work. This Prosciutto and arugula pizza will become your go-to for any group gathering.

Pickled Fig and Prosciutto Crostini

Every fruit has its secret. That’s what D.H. Lawrence said when he wrote an epic poem celebrating the virtues of the fig. Their symbols, their sensuality, their secrets. Figs are indeed one incredibly beautiful fruit, and we pay homage in two ways — leaving some in their pristine glory and giving others a pickle bath. Sure, they’re addictive on their own, but when paired with oozing cheese and a slip of Prosciutto, the secret is revealed. We know you’re going to love this pickled fig and Prosciutto crostini. How could you not?

Cantaloupe Agua Fresca

Beat the heat. Agua fresca or “Fresh water” fruit drinks are an everyday accompaniment to meals in Mexico. Using local fruits of the season, they make a refreshing sipper to wash away the dry, dusty days. Our cantaloupe agua fresca is a little more elaborate ⁠— sweetened with an infused simple syrup and topped off with seltzer and a fresh garnish. We like to be fancy. Sometimes.

This drink pairs well with some fresh Prosciutto.

Caprese Salad with Prosciutto

The tomato days of summer. The Caprese salad with prosciutto is less of a recipe and more like a blueprint of how to assemble the most beautiful, seductive, and summery flavors in one splendid dish. Slice tomatoes when still warm from the August sun, cue up Frankie crooning “Isle of Capri,” pour a sparkling rosé, and feast under the stars. Man, this livin’ is easy.

Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad with Pickled Onions

Just-ripe strawberries and soft, creamy goat cheese are the stars here, so use the best you can find. Farmers’ markets are beautiful this time of year and may have them both waiting just for this dish. If not, check fancy cheese stores or use our hack and lighten a regular log of goat cheese with a little milk or cream. Either way, the pickled onions will stand out and try to steal the show.

Get out of bed already and make Mom these crepes! Whatever you’ve ever done to disappoint her — whether it happened when you were 3 or last week — she’ll totally forget about it when she takes a sweet-salty bite of these babies. Don’t worry if you mess up the first crepe – that happens to everyone. After a couple of crepes, you’ll get into a rhythm. You can use an offset spatula, but your fingertips will likely toughen up from the heat by the time you’re done and you might not need it — a true merit badge.
