Warm Ricotta Dip with Wild Mushrooms and Arugula: Herbed Pita Chips
Kari writes: Tonight is book club and I promised about a week ago (when I wasn’t thinking) to bring over something appetizerish.

Pasta Primavera (but good!)
Canadiens fan writes: I have a bunch of vegetables, some ricotta, and plenty of pantry staples. Now what?
Tony’s take: I’m going to tell you to go somewhere kind of surprising, somewhere forbidden, if you will. Pasta primavera is one of those things that you should avoid at all costs when eating out; the kind of soggy pasta dish that steeps in a bath of cream and sodden vegetables in a chafing dish at a company luncheon or cruise ship … Continue Reading
