We featured Vin Santo one month and a biscotti recipe was a natural addition. As you can gather by now, a traditional and simple recipe was in order. As a good son, I enrolled my father in the club and he took to this recipe - very similar to his Italian mother's which wasn't written down - and perfected it. As an engineer, be assured it has been tested hundreds of times and is perfectly accurate in every detail. Thanks, Dad! http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2011/11/traditional_biscotti.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2011/11/traditional_biscotti.html Desserts and Breads Tue, 29 Nov 2011 10:00:16 -0800 This is more of a technique than a recipe but it's definitely newsletter-worthy. Garrett, our chef de cuisine here at the store came up with this little twist based on his mother's tradition. You'll use this bit of advice for the rest of your culinary life - guaranteed. http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2011/09/oven_roasted_potatoes_vegetabl.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2011/09/oven_roasted_potatoes_vegetabl.html Entrees Fri, 16 Sep 2011 10:36:55 -0800 One of the many advantages we have of living in the NW is great shellfish. Penn Cove Mussels may be the best of the best. When they reside in a broth made with lightly smoky Italian Pancetta, garlic & ripe Cherry Tomatoes, they are better than a Milwaukee's Best commercial. http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2011/08/penn_cove_mussels_with_pancett.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2011/08/penn_cove_mussels_with_pancett.html Wed, 24 Aug 2011 10:17:06 -0800 This is a perfect pasta to make when the grill is still in it's summer time position and the strawberry tomatoes & basil are reaching their peak. After you start grilling tomatoes, you won't stop. They are great with pasta, as an antipasti, or with fish and anything else that comes off the grill. http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2011/08/spaghetti_with_grilled_strawbe.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2011/08/spaghetti_with_grilled_strawbe.html Pasta and Rice Tue, 23 Aug 2011 11:37:29 -0800 This is a great summer risotto - substantial but fresh. http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2011/03/asparagus_pancetta_risotto.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2011/03/asparagus_pancetta_risotto.html Pasta and Rice Fri, 25 Mar 2011 14:40:17 -0800 A December dilemma: You want the comfort of a hearty red sauce, but something from the sea is calling you.

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. When guests arrive, you’ll kill 'em with your skills! http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2009/09/pancetta_wrapped_roasted_pork.html http://www.delaurenti.com/recipes/2009/09/pancetta_wrapped_roasted_pork.html Sat, 12 Sep 2009 02:30:41 -0800 This is a great recipe and you'll find a version of it on the package of pasta itself. 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
