Weekend Plans Post: Pasta That Tastes Too Good To Be Homemade

I talked last year about making my first piccata. I’ve made it off and on since then but I have forgotten to take pictures… UNTIL RECENTLY.

First things first, here are your ingredients:

You’re also going to want butter and shredded or shaved or grated romano.

Oh, and the pasta.

I broke down and got some of this and… it’s pretty good for store-bought.

Well, get your water going and the pasta only needs to boil for about 4 minutes so get your collander and measuring cup set up:

After you drain your pasta, start some butter and garlic in your now-empty saucepan:

And toss your ravioli:

Add your bacon and your capers:

Add your seasoning:

Add your lemon:

Add your cheese and about a half of a cup of your saved pasta water to help everything melt together:

And serve with some of your romano sprinkled on top:

Holy cow, guys. THIS IS SOOO GOOD. You know how the best tasting food is the food that someone else makes?

This stuff tastes like someone else made it.

I always wish that I had more leftovers after I do this one.

So I’ll probably make it again this weekend. Got a game night scheduled up in there too. And laundry, of course.

So… what’s on your docket?
