I am deviating from my baking plan and have decided to post my menu from Easter dinner. I love reading about menus, and I love thinking up menus. My mom, my sister and I will talk endlessly about what we will be preparing when we get together next. For Easter, we decided to keep it simple and light.
We started with Barefoot Contessa’s Mussels and Basil Bread Crumbs:
Mussels sprinkled with Basil Breadcrumbs
The Mussels were very good. I think I would lessen the breadcrumbs by a quarter next time.
Our main course was Simply Recipe’s Pasta Puttanesca:
Pasta Puttenesca
Pasta Puttesca is always good and always easy. This recipe was no exception.
To finish off the meal we had King Arthur Flour’s Ricotta Pie:
Slice of Ricotta Pie
This is a lovely pie. It is light and lightly sweet. A nice finish to our spring menu.
Not pictured are the steamed green beans, the buttered pasta (kids meal), and the copious amount of pinot grigio we drank.
