Antipasti was a caprese. We made the mozzarella from scratch first thing in the morning.
Here's the finished product with the obligatory tomatoes and basil:
Primi was a spinach pasta with buttered mushrooms and Parmesan. We also made the spinach pasta by hand.
It gave me Incredible Hulk hands.
Here's the final result:
Secondi was a Braciole--a rolled beef filled with provolone, prosciutto, pine nuts and garlic and simmered in tomatoes, red wine and beef stock. For contorni we made zucchini.
We topped it all off with an almond flavored pudding. The eating extravaganza took place over the course of several hours. In order to space out the courses and gain maximum enjoyment, we watched at least one episode of One Piece between each course. Manga + Italian food = international night!
That's the end of our fabulous four-day weekend! Thanks for joining us!
