Week 18

Here are some of the items you may be receiving in your delivery this week:

Mesclun, Arugula, Garlic, Assorted Winter Squashes, Eggplant, Radish, Celery

Fall colors are coming into full bloom here at the farm. Our walks around the pastures are becoming more and more vibrant every day.

This week we have some sweet winter squash. Simply cut in half, place in a baking dish cut side down, add some water and bake at 350 degrees until soft. So good with a little salt and butter.

Also a neat addition this week is celery. Here is a simple pasta recipe:

Pasta with Celery Sauce

A bunch of celery

1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil or to taste

2 scallions, white and green parts, sliced thin

1 clove garlic, minced

½ pound pasta

Parsley for garnish

¼ tsp dried red pepper flakes or to taste

Pinch of salt

1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Chop up the celery leaves and set aside.

Chop the celery ribs to be the same size as the pasta.

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Sauté the scallions and celery until tender but still firm, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant approximately a minute. Remove from pan and keep warm.

Meanwhile in a large pot of boiling salted water cook the pasta until al dente, drain but do not rinse.

In a large serving bowl combine the pasta, celery sauce, chopped celery leaves, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Toss well and serve immediately.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Your Farmer,

Amber
