Lets get together !

Raviolo all'amatriciana

 
Do you know what? Eventually it rained!

However, the first Sunday lunch of our Sagraincasa Supper Club went very well anyway . All ladies and all very nice. They were in Umbria for a hen party weekend . Lunch began with a nice cocktail under the porch in the garden, many small appetizers, including my new entry finger food. A homemade raviolo filled with an amatriciana tomatoe sauce !!!!!!!  so cool and a lot of fun because It  looks like a normal raviolo, served with the Evo oil and pecorino cheese. But then … when you divide the ravioli with a fork … … .. surprise surprise! Amatriciana tomatoe sauce comes oozing out !!!!! so cool. Ok sorry….maybe I am just too exited.

So lets get back to the progress of the lunch … because of  the bad weather most of the event was held in my very large kitchen. With good food,  good wine and lots of chat,( one asked to turn the meatballs into the pan and others wanted to know the history of this old house ) … .. the time just flew by.

 Finishing with a dessert, grappa and coffee, the happy girls made their way home in the late afternoon.
So now I’ll explain to you specifically what we are planning to do and what the Sagraincasa Supper Club is all about:

Policy and Rules:

The philosophy of our project is to have guests  who all share the same FOOD PASSION.

Sagra in Casa, isn’t a restaurant so we only ask our guests for a donation to cover the food shopping and our service. We also ask you to keep us informed by email, should you have to cancel your reservation. We don’t like to waste food!

So from today  you can check the Supper Club icon on the web site and….. if you like….. take a seat in the Sagra!!!
