Angelini Osteria’s Tagliolini al Limone

Angelini Osteria’s Tagliolini al Limone

This recipe is excellent,  but it isn’t as good as eating this dish at Angelini Osteria in Los Angeles.  Nothing beats the freshly made pasta and family like atmosphere of the restaurant.  The love that goes into the making of this dish, and the people 

Macaroni and Cheese

Macaroni and Cheese

This Macaroni and Cheese recipe is delicious!  You can use whatever cheese you have on hand.  I have used Coastal Cheddar, Comte and Tillamook for the cheese sauce.  You could even use a good Jack.  For the top, you can sprinkle the same cheese used 

Ryan’s Poke

Ryan’s Poke

My husband’s help in the kitchen is greatly appreciated.  Especially, when he makes a creation like this one.  His secret in this recipe is the pomegranate molasses and Sambal Oelek.  You can purchase the molasses at Savory Spice Shop in Newport Beach or online.  The Sambal Oelek gives the poke a savory kick that I just crave.  He also uses Rusty’s Chips, but really any thick, crunchy potato chip will work.

Ingredients:
2 filets sushi grade ahi
soy sauce
sesame oil
fresh minced garlic
pomegranate molasses
ground ginger
Sambal Oelek
sesame seeds
kosher salt

Directions:

Thinly slice and cube ahi.  Add a 1/2 tsp. of each of the listed ingredients, or more to taste.
Serve with Rusty’s Chips and chopped avocado.
