| CHALLAH|

DAIRY www.ok.org

"STRAWBERRY AND RHUBARB SEASON IS ONE OF THE MOST COLORFUL AND DELICIOUS TIMES OF YEAR... "

There are many halachos surrounding the baking of bread and challah, and one of those halachos is that bread should always be pareve. There are some exceptions to this rule, however.

1. When making dairy challah, one should only prepare enough for one meal.

2. Cheese may be put on top of the challah, where it would be clearly seen.

3. If one wants to add dairy ingredients in the actual dough (milk, butter, cheese), then the bread or challah must be shaped differently from typical bread or challah.

It is permissible to serve butter with a pareve or dairy challah at the Shavuos meal, but keep in mind that one cannot serve butter with a challah that was baked in a fleishig (meat) oven.

| PASTA |

Paglia Fieno with Ricotta, Zucchini, and Herbs Welcome spring! Paglia and Fieno translate as “straw and hay,” and describe a mix of spinach tagliatelle with simple egg tagliatelle. You can also make this dish using only one color of tagliatelle. Paglia e Fieno, and egg noodles in general, are considered more “festive” in Italy than regular pasta without eggs. Another shape of pasta (egg-free) that could work well for this recipe is farfalle (butterflies).

ITALIAN TI P Use a light PROTEIN-RICH CHEESE, such as ricotta, to take center stage.

Serves: 4-6 (depending if appetizer or main course) Easy / about 25 minutes 4 medium/small zucchini, very firm 1 medium onion, finely minced or grated 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely minced 1 tablespoons fresh marjoram, finely minced 1 tablespoon fresh mint, finely minced 1 package (1 lb.) mixed egg and spinach tagliatelle or fettuchini ⅔ cup natural whole-milk ricotta* 1-2 tablespoons fennel seeds (if liked) OR pine nuts Salt and pepper to taste 4-5 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan, such as Natural & Kosher, plus more for serving *Don't use skim or low fat ricotta.

Whole milk ricotta is naturally low-fat as it is a by-product of cheese and the fat goes into the cheese.

1. Julienne the zucchini after removing the top and bottom.

2. Heat the oil in a large skillet, add the minced onion, thyme, and marjoram, and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the zucchini, cook on high, stirring for about 1-2 minutes, then cover and allow to cook on medium for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding a few spoonfuls of water only when necessary (if they are sticking to the bottom). Uncover, and if the zucchini are too watery, raise the heat and allow the liquid to evaporate. Add the mint and salt and pepper to taste.

3. Cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the package.

4. Drain (but save about a ladle full of the cooking water), and pour pasta into the saucepan containing the zucchini. Add the ricotta, the fennel seeds or pine nuts if using, place on the heat and turn the pasta in the sauce to coat. Add the grated Parmesan and toss until well coated (about 1 minute).

4. Serve immediately, offering your guests extra grated cheese to taste.
