Beautiful, as usual.
I love the tacos with radishes. Got to try that one.

You guys made the egg yolk ravoli?! I hope there will be a post on that soon!

3 Amy (Minimally Invasive) April 13, 2009 at 9:27 am

Nom! Gorgeous eats, all around. For the pasta, do you mix in the herbs when you’re first assembling the dough or do you knead them in later?

Yum!

It’s raining here in Chicago…and now I MUST have tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. With leftover Easter ham. :)

Looks like you had a lovely weekend!

I second Nosheteria, and would love to see a post on how you made the egg ravioli!! Looks absolutely delicious!

Thanks so much, everyone! There will likely be a post on the ravioli in the future – I wasn’t entirely pleased with how these turned out (i.e., the pasta was more spinach-flecked than uniformly green).

In the meantime, though, you should totally check out Amy’s and Claudia’s versions:

(and Amy – those aren’t herbs in the pasta dough, but now you’ve got the little wheels turning in my head :D )

Gosh, that’s all so mouth-wateringly lovely.
Gotta linger on those steak tacos garnished with radish, though. Absolutely stunning.

Beautiful pics and food. I love the one of grilled cheese and tomato soup (if only it wasn’t Passover…). I’m interested to read your post on the raviolo. These are definitely in my future. Thanks!

Rebecca – Thanks! That soup and sandwich combo was our reward for a cold, soggy morning of errand running :)

claudia – You’re too kind to me, always. :) If circumstances were different, I’d be dining with you ladies in a heartbeat, but alas, the timing’s not right for it. I’ll be with you in spirit, though.
