Tagliatelle marinara with and blade steak (Pasta and marinara from scratch)
Nothing wrong with dried pasta, but making your own pasta sauce is sooooo much better than from a jar. I just used canned tomatoes, garlic, shallots basil and some olive oil.
Blade steak, cheap cut of meat that's got good marbling and tender as long as you're willing to trim off a bit of silver skin.
Pan-seared, salt and pepper and rested. Simple is good.
Mushroom ragout, a poached egg, 24 hour slow roasted cherry tomatoes on the vine over creamy polenta
Mushrooms were caramelized with with garlic, shallots and thyme. White wine and cream to finish. Some Shaved parmigiano-regiano.
Stole the concept from Working Class Foodies.
