You would think the hard part would be finding cannoli shells. Yet I see things that look almost exactly like cannoli shells at Korean bakeries and anju trucks (you know, the ones that sell puffed wheat, styrofoam crunchies, and little crackers).ZenKimchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00081373174186807282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12891742.post-42967984677935260382007-03-28T12:27:00.000+09:002007-03-28T12:27:00.000+09:00Wow, that's sheer genius...ricotta is just too dam...Wow, that's sheer genius...ricotta is just too damn expensive here and the last time I bought some at Dandy Grocery in Hannam that stuff went bad pretty fast. A tee-shirt is a good cheap filter...just use a clean one. They work pretty well for Christmas Pudding as well. <BR/><BR/>Great blog, btw.Levi Kaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14130512369215643440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12891742.post-11322920439097373472007-03-20T05:29:00.000+09:002007-03-20T05:29:00.000+09:00That recipe sounds YUMMY!

Combine well with the rest of the ingredients. Roll into 16 slightly flattened and elongated pieces, and roll around in flour to coat well; place on wax paper covered dish and chill for 30 minutes.<BR/><BR/>In a non-stick pan, sauté in hot olive oil in several batches until golden brown on both sides; try turning them carefully with 2 forks. They burn easily so keep an eye on them. Place on a cookie sheet lined with foil (parchment paper too, if you want to get fancy)in preheated 250° oven for 30 minutes, while you make a quick tomato marinara sauce.<BR/><BR/>QUICK TOMATO MARINARA SAUCE<BR/><BR/>4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil<BR/>2 large garlic cloves, crushed<BR/>1 large can whole Italian Plum Tomatoes<BR/>1 large bunch fresh basil, chopped coarse<BR/>1/4 teaspoon of black pepper<BR/>12 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced thin (or 1 large can chopped mushroom pieces)<BR/>1/2 cup water or broth<BR/>1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)<BR/><BR/>In a large saucepan, heat garlic in olive oil just until golden. Add tomatoes and their juice after mashing them by hand (watch out, they squirt!). Add the rest of the ingredients, bring to a boil, and then lower heat to a bubbling simmer, for about 20-30 minutes uncovered. You can add little more water if it gets too thick.<BR/><BR/>To serve, place the dumplings on a bed of the marinade. Garnish with a sprig of basil and freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese. Serve with a green salad and crusty bread.whaleshamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13998496497948657535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12891742.post-6267386133142484252007-03-16T15:29:00.000+09:002007-03-16T15:29:00.000+09:00hi, jelly, taboo here!mmmm, that ricotta looks pre...hi, jelly, taboo here!<BR/><BR/>mmmm, that ricotta looks pretty creamy-licious to me. i hope you've saved some for WCB, 'cause i sorta promised everybody we could all get a little bowlful to lap up.<BR/><BR/>so, please accept this little note to say:<BR/><BR/>we wanna be included!<BR/><BR/>our entry is here:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://jellypizza.blogspot.com/2007/03/sunshine-on-my-shoulders.html" REL="nofollow"><I>Jelly Pizza:</I> Sunshine on my shoulders...</A><BR/><BR/>okay?whaleshamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13998496497948657535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12891742.post-34598069069138046392007-03-14T15:57:00.000+09:002007-03-14T15:57:00.000+09:00What would be another good use for that ricotta, m...What would be another good use for that ricotta, mock or not, would be a filling for a cannoli. You can use this for actual cannolis, or you can use it as a dessert topping for crepes or lady fingers, or even waffles. Sweet Jebus, I'd love to make that! With miniature chocolate chips in it and everything!Mavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159539883712835177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12891742.post-71767406750936704712007-03-14T12:53:00.000+09:002007-03-14T12:53:00.000+09:00Happy happy joy joy!

This is better than not having any ricotta at all, right?<BR/><BR/>Calzones, here I come!<BR/><BR/>(Oh, I'm just some weirdo who schlepped over from Kevin's blog.
