Late Winter Carrot Soup (Serves 8 -12) This special hearty soup is tangy and thick enough to serve over pasta. Last week I used it on pizza under arugula, feta, caramelized onions, and fig jam. Nathaniel made a ragu for vegetable “noodles” from the Paderno Spiralizer. Served as a soup it can be garnished with pesto, or a drizzle of … Continue reading
Practice makes perfect and I’m out of practice, so these aren’t perfect. But fresh ingredients in the semblance of real ravioli makes up for a lot.

Hold the boat! Mix it with, or use in lieu of, mayonaise on a turkey sandwich with spring lettuces, thinly sliced apple, and feta cheese. … Continue reading
We received a beautiful manual pasta maker as a wedding gift. Never used it. After Gus was diagnosed with Celiac Disease I purchased a fancy automated pasta maker, dedicating it exclusively to GF pasta dough. Used it once. Neither made the move when we downsized. In fact both were given away before downsizing was a … Continue reading
