Last Cuisine Meal

Caprese Salad/'Sour' Dough bread

Asparagus pasta

Gnocchi with shrimp sauce

Desserts: Canoli (in front), rum cake, and flakey ricotta filled goodies

Cuisine tonight was so yummy!! :) We started off by having caprese salad with ‘sour dough’ bread on the side to spread a cheese on top – the cheese was white with whipped cream inside?? Their sour dough is way different than ours - theirs has a yellow color to it and is more chewy rather than having that 'sour' taste to it...it was good, but not sour dough. We enjoyed those dishes with Greco di Tufo, a red vino I believe. Then we had asparagus pasta which was very yummy and all that the sauce was was butter and water mixed in with the cooked aspargus – that’s all!! So easy to make as well!! We drank Fiano di Avellino with that which was a bianco and was kinda dry, but left you with a sweet taste, pretty good. Then we made gnocchi and while we were waiting for that to cook, we drank a red wine called Falaughina and then when the gnocchi was done, we put a shrimp sauce on top which Christina made prior to class. She had to because you soak muscle sheels in oil, water and some vino overnight. Then when you are ready to heat it, you add chopped up chili peppers to it as well as garlic and the baby shrimp – it was so yummy! She said it didn't turn out as thick as it should've, but I still enjoyed it. For dessert we had 3 different treats. We had a canoli, some flakey dessert which was filled with ricotta inside and we had a rum cake, not much rum to it, but it was really sogging, so I didn't like it. After the desserts we had a glass of Amaro Siciliano which smelt like Jack Daniels but was incredibly thick. It was to sip on, "not to take like a shot" Christinas said. Ha. I didn't actually mind it, it reminded me of throat medicine, how it is a little thicker. I could only handle the little bit she gave us, plus the alcohol percentage was at 32% or something like that! Ha. Good last cuisine night though, very delish!! :)
