I have never heard of cacio e pepe ravioli...what are they stuffed with?

Our family enjoyed a pepperoni and a sausage pizza from Lou Malnati's via Goldbelly. I went into this expecting to prefer the sausage pie, but the pepperoni was a better balance of sauce, meat, and cheese. Had the sausage also included say green pepper or mushrooms, I think it would have been better.

Ooh yummy! I love deep dish. I love Lou’s in Chicagoland and in my home city, we finally have some nice deep dish pizza that’s adequately good enough to enjoy :-)
mind you I enjoyed UNO’s Pizzeria for the 80s & 90s, and only learned about Lou Malnati’s connection around 2005 or so! Very late but not super late :-)

ok I love the Lou’s salad which includes raw mushrooms. How do they make those mushrooms work because I struggle to eat raw mushrooms normally yet they’re great for that salad!!

Ricotta & pecorino stuffed...
it’s cacio e Pepe as the pasta.
I didn’t eat any of it. I love my Rao’s & meatballs & pasta :-)

Interesting you say that. This is not the case at Lou's, but almost every other Chicago pizza place has a "house" pizza. It might be called "The Chicago" or "Art's Special" or whatever. But it's always sausage, green pepper, and mushrooms. Those toppings, on a cracker-thin crust, is basically the most popular pizza in Chicago...and you just designed it. Did you know that before you commented?

I had no idea, although my favorite local pie here is often called "Calabrese", made with crumbled sausage and mushrooms, so my suggestion was based on what I like

Usually I see sausage, green pepper, and onion. But not sausage mushroom and pepper. Whacky.

Combing Zahav cookbook for this week's meal plan. Any suggestions?

Grilled swordfish, steamed green beans and baked sweet potatoes. Last minute addition: stewed baby kale and tomatoes. The next door neighbor brought over a bag of kale from her garden.

Sous Vide Salmon!

Leftover steak and broccoli.

That was dinner here last night. I sliced the leftover NY strip and sautéed it with broccoli, zucchini, onions and peppers.

Onion is pretty common, too, on pizzas with sausage, green pepper and mushroom.

No dinner for me tonight...lunch was big!
