First Place Food

A fun evening was had at Allyson’s Kitchen in Ashland, Oregon. I demonstrated how to make pasta by hand and machine. I thoroughly recommend a food processor and the pasta Kitchen Aid attachment, it’s way easier. I made three dishes. First was a simple spaghetti with cherry tomatoes, olives, basil, and lightly dressed with olive oil. Next was a tagliatelle squash and pancetta carbonara. It had been a while, but really cool to make an authentic carbonara. you forget how great a fresh pasta sauce it really is. Lastly, was shrimp chili and lime raviolis, which is one of my favorite flavor combinations. Served on wilted arugula with preserved lemon oil, simple yet sophisticated.
