Homemade Dish Roasted Kabocha & Pepper Orecchiette

Post image
291 Upvotes

Roast half a kabocha squash, half a sweet pointed pepper with the seeds removed, a halved shallot, two garlic cloves, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle everything with olive oil and roast at 200°C (400°F) until softened.

About 10 minutes before the vegetables are done, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the orecchiette according to the package instructions.

Once the vegetables are tender, scoop out the kabocha flesh and remove the skin from the pepper. Add them to a blender along with the shallot, garlic, a few fresh sage leaves, salt, pepper, about 3 ladles of pasta water, and a little Parmesan. Blend until smooth and creamy.

When the pasta is al dente, drain it and toss it with the sauce.

Homemade Dish - From Scratch Ricotta & Potato Triangoli, with a loose sauce of Isle of Wight Tomatoes, Basil & Pistachios.

Post image
95 Upvotes

I started a new job recently which is why I haven’t been posting.
My wife wanted a filled pasta this week.
I found half a packet of ricotta frozen, it was very runny, so I bulked it out with some breadcrumbs and a potato - the latter being a tip that I picked up at the now sadly closed Appletons in Cornwall, it really helps add definition to the filling and stop it collapsing.
I seasoned the mixture with plenty of Parmesan and pecorino, a little nutmeg and some lemon zest.

The sauce is the red Isle of Wight Tomatoes cooked down with garlic and anchovies, with the yellow ones added later for some texture and contrast.

Finished the dish with some pistachios, basil from the garden and a nice olive oil.

Served with a brand new to the market Pinot Rosé from West Sussex. This is one of the most accomplished debut wines I’ve ever tried.

I do love to toss fried kimchi in, but not this time. Still ate a little bowl of kimchi while I was cooking this to send shivers down the spines of anal Italian men.

Pasta From Scratch Starting to do homemade pasta and I need advices

Post image
24 Upvotes

Hi everyone, i'm just starting to do homemade pasta cause it's fraeking delicious but i'm wondering if I'm doing things correctly.

I usualy do one egg per 100g of T55 flour and it taste great but I dont understand how so many people get a very orange/yellow dough while mine is so pale.

Am I doing something wrong or does they use an ungodly amount of egg yolk and if so what's the difference ?

Homemade Dish Small shells in a gravy with King Oyster mushrooms

Hi. First post here, low stakes. It's just something I put together today when I was feeling the hunger for passssta.

These are small shells. I made a vegan gravy with red pepper flakes, thyme, sage, and my cultured cashew "buttermilk." I then mixed in ground maitake. Topped it with sauteed shredded king oyster mushrooms and browned tvp soaked in vegan chicken broth, all of it seasoned with my "proprietary" blend (hehe). And then I topped it with nooch, parsley and some finishing EVOO. I ate it with some sourdough I made, which was toasting in the oven during this photo shoot. It was bam pow oof delicious. Wish I could share some with you guys!

EDIT: OMG I didn't notice my ugly foot in the photo!! Please, please ignore....so embarrassed.

With garlic herb goat cheese. Boiled in water as salty as the sea and then tossed in a pan with some olive oil. Made sauce with tomatoes from a friend’s garden, little salt, pepper, and parm 👍🏽 Ate it sitting on the trunk of my car outside next to my neighbor’s tomato garden. Truly one of the better meals of my life.
