Tuna Noodle Casserole, This Time With Extra “New”

And because I’m completely ridiculous, I turned those beautiful pepper-crusted tuna steaks into tuna casserole-flavored ramen noodles. Flaked tuna and Asian greens (chonggak radish raab from the garden, scallions, and gai lan), peas, and enoki bechamel with @umiorganic noodles. Garnished with chonggak flowers. Anything can 

Rigatoni with Wild Boar Ragù

Here’s a very simple and *fast!* ragù of @nicky.usa wild boar stew meat, pressure cooked with a few cloves of garlic, some minced carrot and a small onion, plus a pint of homegrown tomatoes that I put up last summer (plus Italian seasonings and S&P). 

Shepherd’s Pie

I’m not Irish, so the beerbro amateur hour dreckfest that is St Patrick’s Day has never really meant anything to me other than another fine excuse to make shepherd’s pie. Here’s an outstanding iteration: a rich ragu of ground Anderson Ranches lamb (raised right here 

Lamb Shank Ragu with Lemon-Ricotta Semolina Gnocchi

Volga German Soul Food

Gnocchi with Bison and Wild Boar Ragu

Today is “Gnocchi Thursday” at the divine @nostranapdx, but in case you’re too lazy to leave your house, this is a *really* good and very fast knockoff of their gnocchi with beef and pork ragù with red wine and parmigiano ($19). It’s Nicky Farms ground 

Toasted Cheese and Tomato Soup

This is why I grow and can so many tomatoes: to improve my cheese toast intake.   When you receive a gift of homemade cheese bread, there are worse things you could do than melting even more cheese on it to dip into heirloom tomato
