February Italian Dinner Club

Saucy lived up to her name by hosting an Italian theme dinner and making homemade pasta and sauce!! 

 

Her new most prized possession: the pasta maker!

The drying pasta

The final product!  Awesome!!

Dinner started with Couscous' Italian meat and cheese tray consisting of salami, prosciutto, sopresatta, Piave (hard cheese), Montegrappa (hard cheese), Stelvio (semi-soft cheese) and mini caprese skewers.

 

Grapes brought a thematic bottle of wine:  Rigatoni Red!!

 She also brought an addictive bread!  Italian bread topped with an artichoke bruschetta spread, shredded cheese and baked, with a side of roasted garlic!  Mouth watering good!

The main dish was served with Couscous' Chianti contribution

And the final product of Saucy's labor - homemade noodles with a spicy marinara sauce.  Delizioso!!

Paprika completed the evening by perfecting a buttermilk panna cotta with brandied citrus sauce.  Gorgeous presentation!

Another fantastic dinner club!

Look for Saucy's Homemade Pasta Shop opening soon!!
