Chef Sam Recommends...
                                                    Ponzi Pinot Gris 2009
 
Winemaker's notes:
A floral nose with lime zest and green apple, the mouth is ripe melon, clove and citrus finishing with a perfect play between sweetness and acidity. Fruity and smooth.

Critical acclaim:
"Strikingly spicy, with the scents and flavors of Bosch pears, this textural, racy wine has a bit of citrus, pineapple and Asian pear are woventhrough, and the bracing acidity sets it up well for richly sauced poultry or pasta dishes."

Wine Enthusiast

"Bright and lively, brimming with grapefruit-scented pear and floral flavors, lingering easily on the slightly sappy finish. Drink now. 14,000 cases made. "

True "Neapolitan Pizza"...Only At Carl Anthony's

● A true Neapolitan Pizza must be made in a wood burning oven. Gas, coal or electric ovens do not conform to the true Neapolitan Pizza.

● Use of proper ingredients are important. We use "00" flour,  San-Marzano tomatoes, all natural buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil salt and yeast. All of our ingredients are imported from Italy.

●  The art of making hand-crafted, truly authentic Neapolitan pizzas is a technique perfected by our chefs. Every pizza is hand-prepared with fresh ingredients, contains a fragrant aroma, tender texture and a fire-kissed crust that is cooked at a temperature of approximately 800 degrees for 2 minutes.
 

● The pizza should be soft with a higher edge or crust with some charring or blackened blisters. The crust should have a touch of crunch.

"I've NEVER tasted a better pizza! If Iwere you, I would be there when they fire up the oven and treat yourself to the best pizza you'll ever have! "  Robert - Newtown, Ct

True Neapolitan Pizza is periodically on special throughout the year...
only at Carl Anthony's

Pumpkin Ravioli
with Sage Brown Butter Sauce

 

Chef Sam is not only self taught, but creates signature dishes with a “new-school” Italian flavor that are beautifully displayed and memorably delicious! Here's a great dish that you can cook at your house!
 

 
Dough:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup semolina
2 lg eggs
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp oil

Filling:
1 canned pumpkin - 20oz.
1/8 cup grated cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
pinch of salt
VERY small pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

Sage Brown Butter Sauce:
1/2 sick butter
2 sage leaves chopped


 
  Procedure for ravioli:
Use well method or KitchenAid mixer to mix ingredients to make dough. Roll into ball (firm) and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Mix filling ingredients in a bowl and set aside until dough is set.
After 1 hour, roll out dough thin or use a KitchenAid pasta maker on the #7 setting, or second to the last thin setting.

To make ravioli using a pasta board:
Lay pasta strip on board. Place 1 tsp filling for each ravioli, cover with another paste strip, roll it and cut up raviolis.

To make ravioli by hand:
Lay out pasta strip and put a tsp of filling every 4 inches. Lay another sheet over the top, wash edges with egg wash, remove air from around filling and cut into squares. See tips for cooking pasta above.

Procedure for sauce:
Heat butter over medium heat until brown. Add chopped sage leaves. Remove from heat and toss in cooked ravioli in same pan. Top with grated parmesan cheese, plate and serve.
