I am starting out with the most unimpressive of the entrees selected. NOTE: this is a relative scale to those items ordered. Standing on its own, it was delicious but compared to the others, it was the weakest link.
This was selected by Giada as one of the best things she ever ate. Spinach lasagna noodles encasing a deep rich ragu. You can tell this sauce was one of those things that has been simmering on a stove all the live long day.
The best part of this dish was the arugula that was flash fried and used as garnish. Light, crispy and crunchy, it made you excited to eat your vegetables!
P.S. The bottle of wine we selected was fabulous! The winemaker trained in California and went to Italy, so it was a blend of both the fruit forward California wines and mineraly European varietals. One day, I will blow up the photo to remember what it was we drank!
