Cucina Cucina

This is a post to honor Betsy and her appreciation for food--specifically, traditional Italian food prepared with fresh ingredients in la Cucina Ciotola. Here you'll see some antipasti (a bean salad, Campari in gingerale), a butter and tomato sauce on homemade tagliatelle, a side dish of baked asparagas with parmigiano, and Andy and Betsy enjoying Strega, an Italian liquor. The first photo is from a different meal, which included the sausage and sauteed greens with breadcrumbs Betsy's eating. I didn't take photos at every course, or every dinner, but Betsy, I hope these give you good memories of our feasts. Cheers! For recipes, I recommend Marcella Hazan, the master...
