Keeping it light

Pin It

My plans for a salad lunch today was derailed by Tigger, who very kindly asked me to join him at 8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana.  I protested about the need to reduce my intake, but he twisted my arm into ordering just one pasta dish…

Spring vegetables risotto, morel mushroom jus - I must say that I had a different picture in my mind of this dish… rather than something that came from the home of the Jolly Green Giant…  I'm guessing the green is from spinach… and there were broad beans, peas and diced asparagus inside.  The morels were very yummy.  Needless to say, the rice was cooked al dente…

OK, so this wasn't exactly a light lunch, but I'm thinking I could have done a lot worse...
