    Made the Sunday Gravy today with aa few tweaks to accommodate what I had on hand/needed to use in the fridge. Delicious, but definitely a weekend project.

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Bucatini with puntarelle, black olives, and anchovies

    • kari500 on June 30, 2025

      No puntarelle or radicchio to be found. I used a bag of power greens. Because of this I cut back on the garlic and anchovies - probably 5 large garlic cloves and half the can of anchovies. Used linguine. So not really the same dish, but I loved it. The caramelized onion and fennel was delicious and the whole thing came together beautifully.

  • My mother's pasta with broccoli...not really

    • sosayi on April 06, 2025

      Quick, delicious weeknight pasta that comes together easily with the broccoli cooking in the pasta pot, too. My pasta took longer to cook than expected, so my broccoli got a bit more soft than anticipated, but it made an almost pesto like coating on the pasta that was great. Would make again for sure.

  • Eat your greens pasta

      I couldn't bring myself to use 10 oz guanciale; I used more like 7 oz. Also reduced the oil as the guaciale was very fatty. I couldn't find (and had never actually heard of) spigarello, so I took a chance and used dandelion greens, but my family did not enjoy their bitterness, but that's on me. I could see making this again with just chard and/or kale and would love to try spigarello if I could ever find it.
