Jan. 3rd, 2005 09:06 amI didn't do a Resolution Recipe last week. Actually, that's not true - I had planned to make Hookers' Noodles (it sounds so much nicer in Italian, "Pasta Puttanesca").
However, when I actually made the recipe, I changed a few things:
It's not tomato season, so I used homemade red sauce that I froze last summer.
I don't like anchovies, so I substituted chopped proscuitto.
The wife doesn't care much for parsley, so I omitted it.
That basically left the pasta, the capers, and the Parmesan from the original. Oh, wait! I used vermicelli rather than spaghetti.
...
That's more my normal method of cooking - use a recipe as a jumping-off point.
This week's recipe is much closer to the one in the cookbook. I think I'm still dumping this book, though.
Risotto con la Zucca e Piselli
( or, Risotto with butternut squash and peas )
