british columbi-icious


last night, my kitchen was invaded by british columbians (vancouver, surrey, fernie), and i had nothing to ward them off with but a rolling pin, a cheese grater and some remedial ninja skills. what was a poor, hannah-sized gal to do?
these helped.





pumpkin tortelli

preheat oven to 350. put 4 cups pumpkin (chopped) in a roasting pan, drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, cover with foil and bake for about 1 hour. puree in food processor, and mix in a medium-sized boil with lots of parmesan, 2 eggs (lightly beaten), salt and pepper. add enough bread crumbs to make a fairly firm mixture. roll out pasta and stamp out 3-inch rounds. spoon a little bit of filling into the centre of each round, fold in half, and crimp edges. cook in a large pan of salted boiling water for 10 minutes. Serve with sage butter and extra parmesan.

adam and emily got me the world's greatest cookbook for my birthday (the silver spoon), and i've been powering through its deliciousness ever since. (see: the incredible amount of italian food i've made lately)

a-n-d! i've now decided to only have dinner parties that are based on geography.
