A Pasta to Know About! Two Last-Minute Father's Day Gift Ideas! + More Recipes to Make this Weekend
|
I first learned about Rummo pasta from my friend Colu's newsletter and then more recently from my friend Phoebe who writes about why "slow-dried" pasta is easier to digest in her latest book Carbivore. Watch a clip of her explaining why Italian pasta actually has more gluten but is easier to digest here β I found this fascinating! Rummo pasta, which I can find at Hannafords, Whole Foods, and other shops, utilizes a slow-drying or "lenta" process, and should you be needing a last-minute Father's Day gift for the pasta-loving dad in your life, I think a few bags of Rummo would make a lovely gift. You could make a batch of Ina's vodka sauce and pair it with a bag of Rummo bucatini?
Incidentally, yesterday before leaving for VT with two of my daughters for a soccer tournament, I made this buttermilk blueberry breakfast cake, a gift for Ben for Father's Day as I won't be there tomorrow to celebrate, and a treat I know the two kids I left behind also love. I've included a few more recipes and one more gift idea for Father's Day below. Have a great weekend, Friends πππ
PS: If your bananas are ripening at a pace you can't keep up with, it's time to make Mrs. Myers's banana bread, aka the best banana bread ever:

Friends, hello! Somehow summer is over, the kids are back to school, the hockey carpool has resumed, and, well, I find myself asking: how?! This summer in particular felt like a blink. Alas. Today, I have three things to share with you: First, corn on the cob: at some point in the middle of the summer, I stopped making it. Three of my children have braces, and as I noticed them night after night struggling to strip the kernels from the ears on their plates, sending corn flying everywhere,...
Hello Friends, A couple of weeks ago, I returned home to find Caroline Chambers' new book, What to Cook When You Don't Feel Like Cooking, at my door. Its arrival could not have been more timely: we had just returned from England, and in addition to feeling jet lagged or perhaps because of the jet lag, well, I didn't really feel like cooking. As I flipped through, I noticed the chapter organization β "15-ish Minutes," "30 Minutes," "45 Minutes," etc. β and immediately felt inspired. Surely I...
Friends, hello! Yesterday my copy of Jenny Rosenstrach's new book, The Weekday Vegetarians Get Simple, arrived, and about 30 minutes later the above-pictured tart, the book's cover photo, emerged from my oven. It was one of the fastest dinners I've ever assembled in a very long time and a reminder that a handful of good ingredients β good puff pastry, excellent tomatoes, deliciously creamy blue cheese β go a long way. Three years ago, Jenny wrote The Weekday Vegetarians, in which she shared a...
