Chef Sam Recommends...

 
2004 Silvio Jermann "Red Angel on the Moonlight" Pinot Noir

This wine is a vivid red colour. Quite a striking cherry fruit nose with a herbaceous edge; leafy and intense. Quite a lean palate, but with good acidity.

Jermann. King of Italian whites. Who would argue that Silvio Jermann does not make a handful of the most intense, spectacular white wines in all of Italy, perhaps all of Europe. But what's this? A red wine from the King of White? Pinot noir is the grape, and though it is a red wine, obviously, it shares much in common with its paler brethren. Acidity as at the fore, and the purity of fruit is almost alarming. Bitter cherry and pomegranate play along with tobacco and earth on your palate. If you love domestic Pinot's from the Santa Rita Hills, you might want to steer clear of this one. But if precise and extremely food-friendly pinot is what you're after, Jermann's will impress.

  • Don't waste your time or money putting oil in boiling water. Oil and water don't mix!
  • Make sure that you use enough water to boil pasta. (3-4 quarts)
  • Do not salt water until boiling or it will stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Cooking fresh pasta (Aldente) - boil 3 minutes or until pasta floats.
  • Freezing fresh pasta -
    Lay pasta on sheet pan and lightly flour all sides. Store in zip lock bags in freezer up to 2 weeks.

Chef Sam's Recipe of the Month:

Pumpkin Ravioli with Sage Brown Butter Sauce

Chef Sam is not only self taught, but creates signature dishes with a “new-school” Italian flavor that are beautifully displayed and memorably delicious! Here's a great dish that you can cook at your house!
 


 
 
  Dough: Procedure for ravioli:
Use
well method or KitchenAid mixer to mix ingredients to make dough. Roll into ball (firm) and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Mix filling ingredients in a bowl and set aside until dough is set.

After 1 hour, roll out dough thin or use a KitchenAid pasta maker on the #7 setting, or second to the last thin setting.

To make ravioli using a pasta board: Lay pasta strip on board. Place 1 tsp filling for each ravioli, cover with another paste strip, roll it and cut up raviolis.

To make ravioli by hand: Lay out pasta strip and put a tsp of filling every 4 inches. Lay another sheet over the top, wash edges with egg wash, remove air from around filling and cut into squares.
See tips for cooking pasta above

Procedure for sauce:
Heat butter over medium heat until brown. Add chopped sage leaves. Remove from heat and toss in cooked ravioli in same pan. Top with grated parmesan cheese, plate and serve.
