Beef Ravioli

Beef Ravioli

Yes, follows the theme of homemade pasta. Probably gonna make December the month of Pasta. Yeah that sounds good. 

Ingredients
-Beef
-Homemade Pasta
-Celery
-Onion
-Bechamel

Creation

I remember the first time I made pasta. Attempted to make ravioli. Didn't know the ratios or anything. Was totally dry in the middle. Yeah. Now I know you are supposed to boil them and then add to sauce... who knew?

Being that pasta is one of my favorite things ever being able to make it at home sure does change things.

The stuffing is beef and cheese. Needed a lot more cheese (not a beef lover) but it was and is...

Fettuccine and Meatballs

Fettuccine and Meatballs

Mmmm fettuccine makes a return with meatballs this time. No I didn't make them from scratch, cause I don't have the time to ground up 3 different kinds of meat. That is just crazy... good.. but crazy and now I'm growing quite fond of Beurre Blanc.

Ingredients
-Meatballs... shocker
-Fettuccine
-Beurre Blanc based white sauce

Creation

Seeing how the meatballs were pre-made this was essentially making them look good. Simple Beurre Blanc with vinegar and Moscato wine. With some shallots and jalapenos for some spice.

Assuming you know how to cook pasta it can't be much more simple than that. Toss and serve. Well Toss... plate nicely... pull out camera.. take multiple pictures... then serve. How else would you see...

Chicken and Beans

Chicken and Green Beans

This is an old 'what can I make with these things' type recipe back when I was setting off the fire alarm every month. New to fresh green beans, I didn't know what I was getting into. Now rice and green beans are in most of my dishes. Also before I knew how to take a picture...

Ingredients

-Chicken Breast
-Green Beans
-Half 'n Half

Creation
This is definitely a more Italian-style dish, due to the simplicity and leaving the integrity of the ingredients. Nothing but a salt and pepper sear on the chicken completely cooked on stove to make it really crunchy.

Boiled green beans with a little salt and lemon pepper. Very quick to make sure they still have a bite and the sauce. What I call White Sauce. Its a butterless reduction to maximize the whiteness. Plate and serve.

Simple, Tasty, and..
