… Friday of a long weekend no less, Victoria Day for all ya numbskulls!! And ’cause it was a rush buying/prepping/takin’ pics/blogging … is pretty much a pic post!!
Certified Angus Beef
Look at that marbling
Cut into chunks, and secret-seasoned
Into the grinder, a medium grind
Corn; husked pull back, silk removed, water soaked, thrown on grill
Almost done
Sorry, no money-shot … cremini & gruyere burgers w/ a cob … did say rushed y’all, lol!!
… and properly fancied it up, tired of always mangiacaking it down … oh what the hell – Meatballs with pasta, lol!! This creation came courtesy leftovers (once again), a coupla days back I made a batch of my famous meatballs and homemade sauce. And later looking to vary and extend it further, came up with this … it’s a baked pasta dish (my favourite way of cooking it btw), and that sliced tomato (I’ve NEVER done that before, but I had a very ripe one – and remember; waste not, want not) inspiration was something I’ve seen … I think it was from Lidia (Bastianich), maybe it was Giada (De Laurentis) though?! Cooked the pasta in my stock pot full of boiling water and with a ladle full of sea salt – should taste like the ocean, until very al dente, then drained (but with a bit of the pasta water reserved) and finally combined with the meatballs and sauce … oh, I did layer Auricchio before finishing with the tomato (and that’s Grana Padano grated on top when I pulled it out of the oven) … some pics, enjoy – mangia mangia!! 😀
my balls are simmering …
outta the oven …
drizzled with Acropolis, lotsa Grana Padano too …
the money shot – YUMM …
scooped out with a spoon shot – love this …
onto my plate …
and served with toasted garlic bread …
