Today’s cozy appetizer:
🥖 Thin slices of baguette
🍈 Fresh figs
🥩 Prosciutto
🧀 Gorgonzola
✨ Drizzled with extra virgin olive oil

Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes, until the bread is perfectly crisp and the cheese is warm and creamy.

Served with a chilled Aperol Spritz, because every rainy day deserves a little sunshine in a glass. 🍊✨

What’s your favorite rainy-day pairing—wine, cocktails, or a warm cup of coffee?

Dinner out tonight at Valter’s Osteria, such a special experience.

We shared a little of everything: fresh appetizers, handmade pastas, and beautifully prepared entrées, all paired with both red and white wines. Finished with a light, refreshing dessert.

Fridays during Lent, here is a quick Garlic-Shrimp over some Spaghetti.

Garlic Shrimp over Spaghetti
Ingredients (2–3 servings)
6–8 oz spaghetti
1 lb Cooked large shrimp
3–4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
½ lemon, juiced
¼ cup white wine or chicken broth
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Cook the pasta
Bring salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti according to package directions. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.

Pat shrimp dry and lightly season with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Add shrimp and cook for about 1–2 minutes and set aside.

Make the garlic sauce
In the same pan, add garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in white wine (or broth) and lemon juice. Simmer 2–3 minutes.

Combine:
Add cooked spaghetti to the skillet with a splash of pasta water. Toss to coat in the sauce.
Return shrimp to the pan and toss gently.

Finish with a sprinkle of parsley. Enjoy!
