Cooking Basics 101 at Lake Braddock begins This Weekend

This 3 session class begins this Saturday morning at 10:00 AM at Lake Braddock Secondary School.  In our first session we will be making a Caprese Salad, Blanched Broccoli, Pan Fried Chicken Italiano, and a Blueberry Ricotta Parfait for our dessert.  We will also be discussing knife skills and safe food handling techniques.



Roasted Broccoli and Pasta Dinner
 
 
I made this recipe last night; it was in last Wednesday’s New York Times Cooking section and it is a delicious dish.  The link to the recipe is below. The Broccoli is roasted while the pasta (I used Rigatoni) is cooked to almost al dente, then added to the roasting pan with the Broccoli and topped with Ricotta and a Panko/Parmesan/Lemon Zest Mixture. The pan is then put back in the oven under the broiler for a few minutes and drizzled with Lemon Juice before serving.
