  1. The fall is here full on with pumkin "cappucino" soup (gorgeous cap o milk foam and cinnamon nutmeg dust) and Swiss chard raviolis
  2. We got CRAZY BEAUTIFUL FRESH PORCINIS AND CHANTERELLE MUSHROOM TODAY at Frank restaurant with pappardelle!
  3. Just finished my famous Swiss chard raviolis at http://www.Frankrestaurant.com it's on special!!!
  4. Speaking of "spaghetti and meatballs" we make THE BEST. Every wed at Frank!! @theunknownchef
  5. More heirlooms today at Frank! Yum yum REAL TOMATOES are what Italian food is all about!
  6. @chinoisfemme very good choice!
  7. We are also doing a couple new pastas this week. Bucatini Pantesca and Rigatoni Black Kale Alfredo
  8. Coarse salt on tomatoes also adds a nice crunch and SEPARATES the salt from the sweetness of the tomato. Its just Night and day
  9. NEVER use fine salt on toms. Fine salt will dissolve on tom & rob it of sweetness &liquid within a few moments. Coarse salt works wonders
  10. Cut the heirlooms w/ a very sharp knife so u don't bruise them & lose the juice on cutting board. Cut them THICK so they burst in ur mouth!
  11. If u got a lil Mozz Di Bufala it's a great combo. Or even a fresh local Mozz or if ur really smart come by frank&have it w/our buratta!
  12. The heirlooms at the Union Sq greenmarket R amazing. Best way to appreciate them is w/coarse salt, EVOO and a lil cracked pepper.
  13. @chinoisfemme sorry wasn't feeling well last few days.. We are running a corn soup that is out of this world. My grandson makes amazing soup
  14. Sounds easy rite?? It is. Its just a pasta dough "purse" &any shape that can hold filling is valid.There R 1000's of ravioli shapes in Italy
  15. Boil water drop ur ravs in wait for them to float to top, let them cook 1 minute at top and serve with butter and cheese or tomato sauce
  16. Seal the edges together with ur fingers and put on a well floured sheetpan. Be sure to leave space between the ravs and flour them nicely
  17. Cut out either squares or circles fill with desired filling, egg wash the ends of dough and fold over or put another same size square on top
  18. ...and continue to knead the dough till smooth. Let rest 1-2hrs covered in frig. Pull out and roll out as thinly as possible.
  19. Keep doing this until the egg mixture in center becomes nice & thick then knead in just enough to form an elastic dough sprinkle a lil H2O
  20. Pour flour out onto a board, make well in center, add whole eggs in center, whisk eggs with fork slowly incorporating the flour from edges
