Spaghetti with divine tomato sauce

4-14-2010 Wed. mild, sunny

BREAKFAST --- coffee
LUNCH --- rice with spicy napa cabbage and canola leaves
AFTERNOON-TEATIME
--- green tea | apple | dried fruit

DINNER --- (at Oreste's) Indian chickpea chips | squash Bhajias with red chili chutney | white wine || Spaghetti with garlic tomato sauce, fresh basil, olives, and sheep cheese cubes | hot chili sauce | red wine || crepe with filling of ricotta cheese and rose syrup | meade wine |

  • Oreste's pasta is divine, simple tomato sauce tasted so rich. The tomato sauce was cooked a day ahead, then reheated just before serving, added olives and basil at last (Oreste's quote: never ever cook basil !). The dessert crepe was creative, and paired well with the honey wine meade.
