Ravioli a la Nonna

1. Aqueci azeite e um dente de alho esmagado numa sertã.

2. Quando o azeite estava bem quente, e o alho a sentir-se, juntei-lhe cogumelos laminados e aumentei o lume.

3. Deixei os cogumelos largarem alguma água e temperei com um pouquinho de alecrim.

4. Juntei um tomate grandes maduro picado e sem pele, que tinha congelado. Temperei com sal e pimenta. Deixei refogar um pouco.

5. Juntei um pacote de natas, e deixei-as cozer com o lume mais brando.

6. Pelo meio cozi uns raviloli com carne em água abundante temperada de sal [não tapar o tacho depois de adicionar a massa]

7. Escorri os raviloli, juntei-os ao molho e rectifiquei sal e pimenta.

Transferi para uma taça para servir, e cobri-os com mozzarela ralada, que derretida ficou um mimo!

The Omnivore's Hundred

The Omnivore's Hundred is an eclectic and entirely subjective list of 100 items that Andrew Wheeler, co-author of the British food blog Very Good Taste, thinks every omnivore should try at least once in his life.

He offered this list as the starting point for a game, along the following rules:
1. Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2. Bold all the items you've eaten (I've used icons instead).
3. Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4. Optional extra: post a comment on Very Good Taste, linking to your results.

De um deliciosos Penne Carbonara!
