It has been a while but I am back!!!

I tried two new recipes last night that I feel are note worthy.
First, a appetizer that was featured on Everyday Italian on the Food Network. The second a pasta entree on Barefoot Contessa.

The appetizer Brushetta with Fontina and Greens. In true typical Italian form so simply but absolutely delicious. The key, rub the warm bread with split garlic immediately from the oven. Not only is this a great simple recipe you can also make it ahead to run under the broiler right before you need it.

The entree is from the restraunt Nick and Toni's in East Hampton, New York. The dish Penne alla Vecchia Bettola is amazing. So simply to prepare key ingredients, good vodka and San Marzano tomatoes make this dish special.

Both of these recipes can be downloaded from the Food Network website.

Enjoy!!!
