Capellini Carbonara

This is a very popular, very rich pasta dish. The recipe is given using angel hair pasta, and it is very good that way, but if you can replace it with home made green and white Paglia E Fieno pasta it will bring the dish that much closer to perfection. Serves 2 2 Shallots chopped fine. 4 ounces of pancetta, chopped fine. 2 tblsp of olive oil 2 tblsp of butter 1/2 cup chicken stock. 1/2 cup white wine 2 egg yolks 1/2 cup freshly grated parmagiano-reggiano cheese 1/2 pound angel hair(If you can find fresh green and white Paglia E Fieno pasta it works perfectly with this sauce.)

1.		Heat Olive Oil and butter in Large Saute Pan over Medium heat.
2.		Add shallots and pancetta, cook until lightly browned.
3.		Add wine and chicken stock, cook for 2 minutes over high heat.
4.		Add cooked pasta, parmagianno, freshly ground pepper and egg yolk, stirring vigorously over high heat until pasta is coated and creamy. Transfer to individual plates and serve.

The Perfect Scoop
I must start this review off with an apology. There is no excuse for waiting until mid-August to post a review of The Perfect Scoop. If this is the first you are hearing of this excellent book on all things ice cream, then I have let over two months of prime ice cream making and eating time this summer slip through your grip.

Summer's Bounty: Tomatoes
Mid-July through August is sometimes referred to as the Dog Days of Summer, but for me they are something special, the Tomato Days of Summer.
