Justin ran our cafe for a time a few years ago. He's moved on as a private chef and travels between Hawaii and Indian Wells, California with his beautiful wife and two children. Needless to say, the guy can cook. He made this dish for a Family Dinner here at the store (we do family dinners ever so often here. They're fun and exclusive and the crew gets to show off a bit when the inspiration hits them.) Spot Prawns are perfect right now in the Market - if you believe the fish guys and we do most of the time. http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2010/04/spot_prawns_with_crazy_water_g.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2010/04/spot_prawns_with_crazy_water_g.html Entrees Fri, 30 Apr 2010 09:48:24 -0800 Michele (my wife), makes this very rarely. We can't figure why because it's really quite delicious and easy. Perhaps because it can be messy. Fear not! Dive in and go at it. http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2010/01/spinach_ricotta_gnocchi.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2010/01/spinach_ricotta_gnocchi.html Entrees Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:25:33 -0800 DeLaurenti chef Garrett Abel, with a literary gun to his head, created this recipe as the ideal platform for the 2009 Ponticelli Olio Novello. The underlying starch and pork really show off the grassy, fresh extra virgin olive oil. This makes for a wonderful first course paired with an indigenous sangiovese such as Rossosole. http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2009/12/tuscan_white_bean_pancetta.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2009/12/tuscan_white_bean_pancetta.html Appetizers, Soups and Salads Thu, 17 Dec 2009 10:54:54 -0800 So we got this pistachio flour in from Bazzini and we were wondering what to do with it. We talked about encrusting pork with it or frying pork chops dusted with it, but those ideas seemed a little less than challenging. So we decided to make pasta with it. Give it a try if you've got a little extra time. http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2009/10/pistachio_pasta_ravioli_filled.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2009/10/pistachio_pasta_ravioli_filled.html Pasta and Rice Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:21:22 -0800 This is a good one. You can make this a day ahead of time or even freeze an extra loin.

I left out bottarga (salted, pressed tuna roe) because I think it's too salty for the dish but, of course, we sell bottarga and you're free to pile it on! http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2009/07/fregula_pasta_with_tuna.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2009/07/fregula_pasta_with_tuna.html Thu, 09 Jul 2009 11:18:21 -0800 Winning recipe for this year's Seattle Cheese Festival Grilled Cheese Sandwich Contest! http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2009/05/grilled_suds_n_cheese_sandwich.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2009/05/grilled_suds_n_cheese_sandwich.html Entrees Wed, 13 May 2009 23:34:07 -0800 My wife's family calls the soupy remains at the bottom of any dish "mogi-mogi" (pronounced "mo-gee, mo-gee"). I'm not sure why but it's probably Italian dialect or slang for "eat-it, eat-it". In any event, it's what they fight over at the end of the meal. I've only been around for about 20 years but I'm getting pretty good at the mogi-mogi grab. When you want to force the mogi-mogi, make bagna cauda. http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2009/03/bagna_cauda.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2009/03/bagna_cauda.html Entrees Thu, 05 Mar 2009 10:56:45 -0800 Since we have wonderful fresh buckwheat pasta in the shop now, you have to try this recipe. http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2009/02/buckwheat_pasta_with_wild_mush.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2009/02/buckwheat_pasta_with_wild_mush.html Pasta and Rice Thu, 12 Feb 2009 14:19:01 -0800 http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2008/11/post.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2008/11/post.html Pasta and Rice Sat, 22 Nov 2008 09:19:09 -0800 http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2008/11/fettuccine_al_tartufo.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2008/11/fettuccine_al_tartufo.html Pasta and Rice Sat, 22 Nov 2008 09:14:31 -0800 Michele and I had this the other night at a restaurant out of town and thought it would be great as a spread on a sandwich (rosemary cotto, cannellini bean spread, arugula) or as just a nice addition to your antipasto plate atop toasted bread. http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2008/10/cannellini_bean_spread.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2008/10/cannellini_bean_spread.html Appetizers, Soups and Salads Fri, 10 Oct 2008 16:36:25 -0800 We just tasted about a dozen BLTs (and PLTs - "P" as in Pancetta) to include on our menu for the cafe so we have bacon on our mind. We tossed around a few ideas, and this one came up as an amalgamation of a couple of recipes: the BLT with a fried egg and the BLT as a salad. I think you'll like what came out of this brainstorming session.... http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2008/08/fried_egg_blt_salad.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2008/08/fried_egg_blt_salad.html Appetizers, Soups and Salads Wed, 27 Aug 2008 09:40:33 -0800
