Forgot to talk about what we had for meals!
First: lasagna bolognese- omg. This is where they invented it. Recipe available to paying DALS subscribers
Fav: pisarei e fasó: pasta e fagioli but with tiny bean sized gnocchi made with just flour water & breadcrumbs, borlotti beans, barely clinging tomato sauce. amazing . could not get recipe as it is a family secret. “A little butter, a little pork fat, a little this, a little that,” but do an internet search there are many options!
Veggie dinner: kabocha/butternut squash with roasted cauliflower and special spice blend. Leeks with gorgonzola and hazelnuts. Cabbage and rice soup with beef crispies.
Field Pea Puree with Wilted Kale | Brit In The South
Sbrisolona from Food52 (because cant share one i received plus it is a GBBO type recipe)
Kind of a cake, kind of a cookie. Cornmeal, almonds, BUTTER. Crumbly. Tried 3 officially then a 4th.
