Pasta is one of my all-time favorite foods. It comes in such a wide variety of shapes and forms, how could one ever get tired of it? I went on a bit of a pasta binge inspired by a recent visit to one of my favorite restaurants, Union. Their off-menu porchetta is supposed to be amazing, but I have never tried it because I would … Continue reading Golden Beet, Ricotta, and Blue Cheese Ravioli
Broccoli was not my favorite vegetable growing up. In fact, I still don’t buy it at the store.
