(More) Lettuce Pasta


It's November but the lettuce keeps coming. Each week, bags and bags of it show up in my kitchen. I'm almost at the point of hoping the CSA will finally come to an end. The only solution to this problem -- more lettuce pasta.

Fortunately, I found a little Italian store about twenty minutes away that carries imported meats and cheeses. Sadly, the cheese comes pre-cut and packaged, but the meats are sliced while you wait... I picked up a 1/4 pound of Prosciutto di Parma and made a quick antipasto platter with olives and some roasted red peppers. Some shaved ricotta salata flavored with truffles added some variety to this evening's boring lettuce pasta.
