Perfect Italiano
At Next Level - our young adult group, we have been cooking up a big storm - Greek, Indian, Mexican... This week is Italian!
The previous week, the service time was delayed by about 2 hours. So I decided to finish on time. The clock started ticking and Shisei was our judge...
So we had 2 hours to prepare the entree and the main course. I prepared th desserts earlier as it takes time to set.
So entree: Gnudi with pancetta, broad beans, pecorino & balsamic vinegar. The Gnudi was made out of ricotta, pecorino and flour. Kinda like gnocchi, very soft! The broad beans was sweet, so it balanced perfectly with the salty pancetta. The vinegar just gave a good punch of acidity. I added mint leaves, but I could not really taste the mint.. :(
Main course: Linguine with garlic prawns & mussels
I never purchased or cooked with mussels before, I gave it a good. It was great, everyone love it! The mussels pop opened as it should. The aromas from the onion, garlic and white wine was awesome!!!
Trio of desserts:Ginger creme brulee
Pistachio brownies
Tiramisu "coffee" cups
Other than the food tasted great, we also finished on time!
