The seasons in California are subtle… For the most part we are blessed with cool mornings, sunny warm days and crisp evenings. It’s almost always dry without the plague of humidity… there are occasional stretches of rainy days which are just as welcomed in our small quaint agrarian community as rain is the promise of another harvest. I overheard a Napa Valley grower compare the sound of raindrops on the roof to that of the ping of quarters… rain is just money…
Inspired by the end of a “winter”(I use this term loosely as not to offend anyone) season and the beginning of a new growing season, I dished out a can of Urbani Truffle products to each of the hope & grace team members. The assignment? Concoct the perfect, decadent and soul-warming pasta recipe… Let’s say goodbye to “winter” and welcome spring! Use either season as an inspiration…
Here are two of my colleagues unbelievable truffle/pasta recipes…. Special Thanks to VICKIE AND CINDY!!!!!
