This was a wine tasting turned dinner this past Saturday. Same Day I cut into my Culatello so duh! had to bring some to dinner!! We decided to pop open one of our Barolo wine bottles after 4 months of aging. That dictated the meal, and we chose lasagna. We basically use this Lasagna recipe...
it's the only one I have ever used. The one Mossimo makes is a carbon copy of our family lasagna...sans the wine.
First, we make the pasta dough..
Pasta machine set up ready to go...
While that rests for an hour, we start the Ragu..
Once the ragu is simmering, we make the bechamel sauce...
fresh shaved nutmeg a must! (and two cheeses...pecorino romano and parmesan)
I did not get any pics. of the pan fresh out of the oven, but here is an after dinner shot...
The Bresaola, spinach and pear salad with lemon and olive oil vinegrette and balsamic glaze...
The Culatello...
And the wines. I brought a Langhe Nebbiolo to compare to the wine we made. As I expected, our wine is more in line with the Langhe Nebbiolo. It does not have the power and force of a big Barolo. Still good wine though.
The Plate...
Fabulous meal all around!! What an awesome food day!
