The Lady loves pasta and eggs… The Man… not so much… so it becomes a Sunday morning treat at The Manse when The Lady decides to make this dish. Actually she ends up making two dishes… Scrambled eggs and sausage for The Man being the other…
She works with ingredients she has in the fridge and the cupboard but because she believes that all meals are prepared simply with superior and fresh ingredients, it’s always a delight.
Today she made the dish using some of our favorite ingredients from some of our favorite foodies: handmade chicken sausage made on-site at the Fred Meyer’s Hawthorne Meat Counter by Meat Manager and fellow foodie, Greg Dank. (The one she used today was made with roasted tomatoes and basil added); handmade pasta from Southern Italy made by Rustichella d’Ambruzzo which she buys in bulk from Murray’s Cheese in Greenwich Village (this a hand-shaped pasta called Trofie); and from my personal favorite cheesemaker, Flagsheep cheddar made by Beecher’s Handmade Cheese in Seattle. When you start with such great ingredients… well the taste is a piece of cake…
