gluten free pasta dough |
Another use for my drying rack. =) |
rolling out the dough |
The lamb ragu was very easy and the best tasting sauce. The second sauce I made up taking the ingredients from my crostata from the last post. I sauteed swiss chard, leeks, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Then threw in some ricotta and some of the pasta water. My sister liked it which means it had to be good, but she said it would have been even better with some pancetta and I agree.. She is even pickier than Rob.
For as long as I remember my mom has talked about Baked Alaska. She has never tried it so I decided to make it for her instead of the gluten free strawberry shortcake I was going to try and create myself. I found a gluten free recipe for the cake. It was a little on the dry side but still tasty.
I filled mine with a mix of chocolate and vanilla, vanilla and strawberry and butter pecan. |
I then whipped up some meringue and covered the cake and ice cream.
Then I popped them into a 500 degree oven for three minutes. We watched them carefully so that they wouldn't burn. Next time I am hoping to use one of those mini blow torches. =)
Overall it was a very successful birthday feast that just happened to be gluten free!
