Food and cooking tips

Buy Local Food : It’s easy to take locally abundant foods for granted when they’re in season, but you can enjoy many locally produced foods out of season by stocking up. Storing big baskets of hazelnuts (in the Northwest) or pecans (in the Southeast) will come naturally if you start thinking like a squirrel. Look for foods that keep well, such as nuts, honey, winter squash and sweet potatoes and stock up.


Kitchen Tip : On electric stovetops, use flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the element. A warped or rounded pan may be a conversation piece, but will waste most of the heat.

Ingredients And Procedures

2 cloves garlic -- peeled

1/4 cup olive oil

1 cup walnuts -- finely chopped

coarse salt to taste 1 pound vermicelli or spaghetti

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or basil

freshly ground pepper -- to taste 1/4 cup freshly grated perocino romano

In a large skillet over medium low heat, cook the garlic in olive oil until golden. Remove garlic from the pan. Add the walnuts and cook, stirring until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and the pasta. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vermicelli is al dente, tender yet firm to the bite.

Drain the vermicelli, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. In a large serving bowl, toss the vermicelli with the nuts and just enough cooking water to keep it moist. Add the parsley, if using, and sprinkle generously with pepper.

Add cheese and toss again. Serve immediately.
