Ingredients

Filling:

• 1 cup crumbled goat cheese
• 1/2 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts
• 1/2 cup minced fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon minced lemon peel
• 3 large pasta sheets
• Water

Sauce:

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 2 cups whipping cream
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Asiago or Parmesan

Directions

In a bowl combine the goat cheese, walnuts, basil, oil, garlic and lemon peel, and mix well. Set aside.

Put a pasta sheet on work surface with long side facing you and put a packed teaspoon of filling 2 inches apart lengthwise along half of the pasta sheet (you should have 10 to 12 mounds). Around each mound of filling brush dough very lightly with water. Fold dough lengthwise in half over mounds of filling, gently pressing around mounds to force out any air, and seal edges well. With a fluted pastry wheel trim edges and cut between mounds of filling to separate ravioli.

Line a large tray with a dry kitchen towel and arrange ravioli in 1 layer. Make more ravioli with remaining 2 pieces of dough and remaining filling in same manner, transferring to kitchen-towel-lined tray and arranging in 1 layer. Ravioli may be made 8 hours ahead and chilled on towel-lined tray, covered loosely with plastic wrap.

Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the walnuts and cook, stirring, until brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove nuts from the pan. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, shallots and garlic, and saute for 1 minute. Add the wine and cream, and bring to a boil. Cook over medium-high until the liquid has thickened and reduced by nearly 50 percent in volume, about 4 minutes. Stir in the basil, salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli until they are tender and rise to the surface, carefully stirring to keep them from sticking together, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain in a colander. Transfer the cooked ravioli to the pan with the sauce, and gently toss to coat and heat through. Divide the ravioli among 6 serving plates or shallow bowls, and sprinkle each serving with grated cheese. Serve immediately.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 pounds lean ground chuck
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 portobello mushrooms, stems trimmed
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 4 (4-inch) square or round ciabatta or foccacia squares, halved horizontally
• 2 cups fresh arugula

Directions

Combine the ground chuck, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Shape the mixture into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) patties.

Lightly drizzle both sides of the mushrooms with the oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic in a small bowl to blend. (The patties, mushrooms, and garlic mayonnaise can be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead. Cover them separately and refrigerate.)

Prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill the burgers until cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Grill the mushrooms until just tender, about 5 minutes per side. Grill the focaccia squares cut side down, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.

Spread the garlic mayonnaise over the roll bottoms. Cut the mushrooms into strips and arrange the mushroom strips over the mayonnaise. Place the burgers atop the mushrooms. Spread garlic mayonnaise on the cut side of the tops and arrange a handful of arugula on each. Cover the burger with the roll tops and serve.

Ingredients

• 4 medium baking potatoes, washed, cut into 1/8's lengthwise
• 1 teaspoon smoked chili powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
• Cracked black pepper
• 2 teaspoons olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place potatoes, chili powder, salt, pepper, and oil in plastic bag. Shake vigorously to coat potatoes evenly with all ingredients. Spread out on a cookie sheet. Do not over crowd or overlap potatoes or they will steam. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, turning once, until golden and cooked through.
Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes. They will come off tray easily.
