Any Kelly Kapoor fans out there?

Mindy Kaling is hilarious (you probably recognize her from "The Office").  Funny stories about growing up and trying to get a break, and finally making it.



Pasta with White Bolognese Sauce

I read about this recipe in a novel about a women who loved to cook.   I like the recipe much better than the novel, so that is what I chose to recommend to you tonight!  I xeroxed the page and followed her directions.  So, you are going to have to wing it for the quantities.  I just did what she described here and it came out fantastic...so be brave and give it a try!

"Start with a soffrrito-onions, sauteed in olive oil with garlic, cooked until soft and golden-and the insaporire-parsley, carrots, celery.  I sometimes add wild mushrooms, chopped fine.  Then comes the ground meat.  You may use beef, but it is much better with pork sausage, or a combination of the two.  Add white wine and beef stock, simmer, tossing in salt and pepper to taste.  When the sauce reduces, after 10 or fifteen minutes, pour in a stream of milk until the color is golden brown.  You can also add a little nutmeg, or leave it out."
