one doubts that Fall is Pasta Season, right? Home made Tuscan pasta makes for
incredibly good fast food as it should be. Boil the water, salt it, drop in the
pasta and they are done 2-4 minutes later. Grab a sauce and you can have
dinner on the table in less than 10 minutes. And this is resto quality
pasta, made in the same kitchens as their well reviewed restaurants. I always
keep some pasta in the freezer for quick, excellent meals.
Tip: Pumpkin ravioli would be great at Tday, especially for Vegetarian guests.
Get some this week and freeze them.
CHINESE
STREET MARKET: If you have any questions about how
to cook their Soup
Dumpings? Mary Jean is an expert. Sichuan dumplings in less
than 10 minutes from freezer to table, ask Mary Jean at their stand. We
did a
little video with her to show you how at our IG page. Handmade, flash-frozen dumplings, buns, shumai and more.
Ask about their DanDan Noodles kit? Dumplings: Pork and Chinese Celery, Fish
& Perilla & Tomato, Vegetable & Tofu, Eggplant & Eggs &
