Homemade Pear + Mascarpone Ravioli with Thyme Butter Sauce

When your Italian (I-ty for short) bestie asks you to teach her how to make pasta, it’s not only a universal delight, it’s destiny. Nicole and I didn’t mess around; we set up shop. She got’erself a brand new white Kitchenaid right off “the Amazon” and heavy duty sheet rollers to boot.  An oft (and real darn good) cook, all the other necessities fell right into place.
The time had come to reign in our cultural culinary kismet.

Chilled Avocado Mint Soup With Roasted Radicchio

It’s been one hot, gorgeous summer and the homegrown harvests have been nothing short of raaadicchio. See what I did there? I know, total pork (pun dork).
A free spirit and entrepreneur at heart, my 11-year old neighbor, Lily, has been working odd jobs for family-friends in exchange for fresh grown produce. When she showed up at my door a couple weeks ago with a head of radicchio, I knew exactly how to incorporate this beautifully bitter leafy green into a dish made for this hot-as-all-hell summer: chilled avocado mint soup with roasted radicchio. Queue drooling.

  5. This looks so good. I love olives! I’m trying to skip dinner tonight after stuffing myself in NYC today and those pictures are making it very difficult not to run to the fridge and grab some olives.
    And what a great giveaway!

  21. I’m going t use feta instead if goat cheese. Think that will be ok? When I serve this do you suggest assembling it a little bit before they arrive or can they self serve? This looks so delicious!

  22. I love this recipe! I have made it several times. I find fresh garlic in this recipe pretty strong, so I cut it down to one clove. People LOVE it!!!
