Tomato and Corn Pie
So, this recipe is from a food blog called "Smitten Kitchen" sent to me by friend Heather Tucker. It was worth the work it takes to make the crust or better yet, save yourself the time and just buy a good one from your favorite local grocery. I highly recommend it! My camera was out of juice this weekend for both of these dishes so you'll just have to trust that it gets my seal of approval!
Bucatini All'Amatriciana with Smoked Mozzarella Meatballs
Don't be intimidated by the name above! It's a fantastic dish by the Food Network's Giada De Laurentiis and also well worth the time to make the meat balls. We used our ground elk instead of beef and veal, we also used smoke gouda instead of mozz because it's cheaper. You can also get away with using parmasian for the entire recipe instead of pecorino romano. Oh, I also used linguine noodles because unless you go to Pasta Works, you may have a hard time finding bucatini noodles. Have fun!
