About an hour ago, I headed downtown to pick up a set of blueprints. I turned onto 5th Avenue. I'm looking, looking, looking for the address, when I see this:
What are the odds that my downtown travels would take me RIGHT TO the place I've been dying to visit. After reading of Claudia's adventure with fettucini, it was on my "to do" list. This is how I wound up spending entirely too much with at Lazzaroli's with Tommy Noodle. And yes, he laughs and calls himself Tommy Noodle. What a charming guy!
Tommy walks over and introduces himself. I tell him that I'm here because of Claudia. "Claudia?" he says, "Do you cook like she does?"
THAT made me laugh. Um, no. Not quite. But I'm trying.
He showed me the frozen ravioli, of which I bought the Pumpkin and the Lobster. Gah, I can barely wait to cook them! He suggested the tomato cream sauce to accompany the lobster. The pumpkin, I'm going to try with a brown butter and pine nut sauce. Wish me luck. Claudia? I may need your help with that one!
I also picked up some of the gigantic garlic! Let's roast it and schmear it on some toast, mkay?
A tube of tomato paste, of which I am freshly out, some everyday sea salt, and a lunch of stuffed shells and various biscotti later, here I am.
Who wants to have lunch with me today? Any takers?

I don't know about the pumpkin rav' Not all things are good in pumpkin, suprising I know but true. I like pumpkin: whoopie pies, pies, bread and cookies so you'd think I'd like pumpkin funnel cake hmm not so much.
Lunch, people! LOL LUNCH!
Lunch was the Stuffed Shells, a Caesar Salad and Biscotti.
It was heavenly!

Hi!
Just wanted to stop by and say thank you for visiting my blog today. It was very nice meeting you!
Hey...and I'm so glad I happen catch this post!
I'm pure Italian, but have absolutely NO talent for cooking. I think I may have lost a gene somewhere!?!?
So I think I'll just sit here for awhile and STARE at this picture...and try to imagine what it must taste like...
...sipping my red wine!
Again...nice meeting you.
I'm so there! That looks and sounds so yummy!
Oh yes please!! Ill be right over!
I came in way too late to take you up on that lunch offer! DAMMIT!
This just made me hungry and it's not even 9am yet.
Gigantic garlic---do you mean elephant garlic? I find that it loses flavor the larger it is. What do you think?
If there are any leftovers today...Count me in!
Good Morning Real Live Lesbian,
Interesting, you inviting folks to enjoy ravioli for lunch yesterday. I had lobster ravioli for lunch yesterday. It's very tasty.

I got up just now. *LOL*
I haven't gotten around to trying pumpkin ravioli but I heard it is great. thanks for stopping by.
I would relax my three year ban on carbohydrates to have this meal with you.
That sounds so fab, be right over with the wine!!!!!
