Angel Hair Pasta with Black Truffles
There is nothing quite like a fresh truffle. It has a wild, earthy flavor which is at its best when seasoned sparingly and served with neutral flavors. Truffles are rare. For this reason, too, they bring something exotic and special to your table. Th...

This is one of those "trick" recipes that we all know and love.

tremendously when served with fresh tossed g...

Basil Pesto
This is one of my absolute all time favorite recipes. Typically, I put in about six times as much garlic as the recipe calls for, because everyone seems to prefer it that way. I also modify this recipe by loading up on the pine nuts, and I don't put ...

Basil Shrimp with Feta and Orzo
This distinctly Mediterranean dish is as elegant as it is tasty,
and simple to prepare. Part of the trick here is to use very fine

Chestnut Ravioli with Sage Browned Butter
The chestnut has a rich but mild flavor. It also has an unmistakably "woodsy" taste to it, which makes sense since it grows on a tree. The point is, it goes wonderfully with the spicy redolence of bacon, onion, and garlic. Add some chopped apple and ...

Crab, Lobster and Lentil Ravioli
When ravioli is done correctly, the pasta is tender and moist - not at all chewy. This dinner is great even if you don't have soft music and a log fire. Anyone can light candles, and the meal should accomplish the rest

Fettuccine with Morels
Though many people like their morel mushrooms sautéed and
served with toast, there's another entire camp of 'shroomers
who love the undeniably delightful experience of enjoying them

Fettuccine with Morels & Breast of Pheasant
This is a truly memorable springtime dish - perfect
for a special occasion, and not too much work. Pheasant

Fettuccini Alfredo with Morels
The sauce makes a great "base." You can try frying and dicing some bacon and adding it to the sauce, or add some fresh sliced ramps sautéed with garlic. Diced cooked shrimp or chicken would also be delicious. You could experiment by using sherry inst...
