a special recipe from Coldwell Banker Fahey Properties
Pumpkin & Rosemary Risotto Serves 6
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 4 oz. butter(1/2 cup) 1 garlic clove, crushed 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped, plus 2 large whole sprigs 1 ¾ pound pumpkin flesh, chopped into small cubes roughly ½ inch in size 1 medium onion, finely chopped
16-18 oz. risotto rice, (Vialone, Carnaroli or Arborio) 4-6 oz. (½-¾ cup) dry white wine 6 cups hot vegetable stock or vegetable bouillon 2-3 oz. Parmesan cheese, freshly grated salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
Heat the oil and a third of the butter in a medium-sized heavy-based saucepan. Add the garlic, whole sprigs of rosemary and pumpkin and cook over a low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pumpkin softens and becomes pulpy. Remove the sprigs of rosemary, then set the cooked pumpkin aside. In another heavy-based saucepan, or sauteuse pan large enough to allow for the expansion of the rice, sauté the onion in the remaining butter until soft and translucent. Add the rice, stirring well, so that it becomes coated with the butter. Next add the wine, stirring again until it has been completely absorbed. Add one ladle of vegetable stock and bring to a simmer, then add the pumpkin mixture and half of the chopped rosemary. As the stock is absorbed add more, continuing in this way for approximately 18 minutes, (the time will vary depending on the type of rice used), until the rice is soft and creamy but the grains are still firm in the center. Stir constantly so that the rice does not stick to the pan. You may not need to use all of the stock-it will depend on the juiciness of the pumpkin. Add half of the Parmesan cheese together with the remaining chopped rosemary and season to taste. Serve with a generous sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.

a special recipe from Yoli Hurchanik Coldwell Banker
Yoli’s Lasagna 1 Box of Lasagna Noodles 1 Bottle of spaghetti tomato Sauce Block of Monterey Jack Cheese ½ cup of raisins
Small Onion Whole Garlic Mushrooms 1 lb. hamburger meat Salt and Pepper
You will first want to chop up the garlic, mushrooms, and onions. Add a little bit of olive oil to a pan and sauté the cut vegetables together. Once the items are cooked, place the hamburger meat in the pan and cook until brown. Once the meat and vegetables are fully cooked place the tomato sauce in the pan and heat pan until the sauce begins to boil. Then turn down to a simmer and add the raisins to the sauce. Mix salt and pepper into the sauce to your liking. In a glass baking pan pour a layer of the sauce on the bottom of the pan, then place a sheet of uncooked noodles on top of the sauce. Then pour another layer of the sauce on the noodle layer. You will then want to place slices of cheese on top of the sauce. Repeat this process for a total of 3 - 4 layers. On the final noodle layer pour a thin layer of sauce and once again place some slices of cheese on top. Cover with tin foil and place in oven for approximately 45 minutes at 375 degrees.

a special recipe from
The Law Offices of Mark C. Watson, P.C.
Veal with Prosciutto (Saltimbocca) Serves 4
4 veal cutlets (about 1 ¼ pounds total) 8 thin slices prosciutto 8 fresh sage leaves 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 1 pound spinach, stemmed, washed, chopped Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Juice of 1 lemon Roll the veal between 2 pieces of parchment paper with a rolling pin until flattened to an even thickness, about one eighth inch. Cut each piece in half. Place a piece of prosciutto on top of each piece of veal. Top each with a sage leaf and fasten the layers together with a toothpick. In a large, heavy sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until softened but not browned. Add the spinach and sauté until all of its liquid has evaporated, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a warmed serving platter and keep warm. In another large, heavy sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it foams. Add the veal and cook, turning carefully once, until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side. Add the lemon juice to the pan and stir to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste, place on top of the spinach, drizzle with the pan drippings, and serve at once.

a special recipe from Marshall Realty
Spaghetti Carbonara ¼ lb thick-cut pancetta or lightly smoked bacon slices 1 tablespoon olive oil 3 large eggs ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon pepper 1 lb Spaghetti 3 oz. plus Romano
Prepare pancetta. Cut it into ¼ inch pieces and saute it in olive oil about 10 minutes. Remove from heat but leave the fat. Beat the eggs in another bowl with salt and pepper. Cook the spaghetti with some olive oil. Cook about 10 minutes. While spaghetti is cooking warm up the pancetta. Drain the pasta and add it to the pancetta pan. Toss it until it is evenly distributed. Add the eggs and toss until it looks creamy. Be sure to toss steadily and quickly so that the eggs form a creamy sauce ( not a scramble). It takes about 30 seconds. Remove pan from heat and sprinkle with cheese. Delicious!!!

The Michael Haigh Team W. J. Bradley
Risotto ai funghi (Wild Mushroom Risotto) Serves 6
¾ oz. dried, wild mushrooms (optional) 10 ½ oz. fresh wild mushrooms such as porcini and chanterelles or 10 ½ oz. Swiss Brown mushrooms 6C vegetable stock or water 4 Tablespoons olive oil 1 large white onion, peeled, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled, finely chopped 2 sprigs of thyme, leaves stripped off stalk 1C white wine 1 lb. risotto rice 1 ¾ oz. butter ½ C freshly grated Parmesan cheese plus extra for serving A handful of chopped fresh parsley
Soak the dried mushroom in 1 Cup of warm water for about 10 minutes. Drain and chop the mushrooms into pieces. Strain the soaking liquid to add to the risotto. Rinse the fresh mushrooms if necessary and wipe them with paper towels. Slice finely. Heat the stock or water in a saucepan. Heat the olive oil in a separate large, heavy-bottomed saucepan and lightly sauté the onion on a medium heat. When it has softened slightly, add the garlic, thyme and the fresh and dried mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper, and sauté for a few minutes to soften. Add the wine, and when it has evaporated, add the rice, stirring to coat. Cook for a minute, lower the heat and add a ladleful or two of the hot stock, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add the mushroom water or 1 cup stock or water. When the stock has been absorbed, add another ladleful and continue stirring, taking care to gently move all the rice at the bottom of the pan so it doesn’t stick. After about 20 minutes, taste the rice, and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. The rice may need another 5 minutes or so. It should have a creamy, slightly liquid consistency but still be slightly firm to the bite. Add the butter, the Parmesan cheese and the chopped parsley and stir. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese if you like.
