Pasta alla Gricia, Cannellini Bean and Broccoli Rabe, Roasted Beet Salad

Dinner 2/08

Pasta alla Gricia

Cannellini Bean and Broccoli Rabe

Roasted Beet Salad

Dessert

Sauternes Cake

I'm sure somewhere we've violated all kinds of foodie law that says you shouldn't put Pasta alla Gricia "en papillote" -- but screw it, it was wonderful. We subbed hickory smoked tofu for the pancetta, and nooch for the cheese.



The cake was another shot at the Neil Perry recipe from F&W (Oct. 2007), subbing soft tofu for the eggs and skipping the pears and going with the raspberries. Good stuff all around...
