Ricotta-tomato pie

Hangover pie!

We just had the loveliest weekend ever. The weather was incredible, and reached unbelievable temperatures which is quite un-Dutch, especially when you have a wedding! Our outfits were absolutely stunning (it's true!) and a weekend without kids was - though we love them to the bones -let's say, a blast! 

 The wedding was like a fairytale, and the whole day was celebrated in the most beautiful hotel of Amsterdam; the Amstel Hotel. From beginning till end (and the end was early morning) was a feast! You can imagine, there is nothing better than a good days rest after a party like that. With good foods and drinks and no kids to take care off. Just me, my man and my kitchen.

We came up with this super tasty tomato ricotta pie, which is easy as hell, but really does the trick (especially when you're hungover!)
Absolutely worth trying, and even good when eaten cold. (Of course we saved some for the kids!)

Taste Explosion!

About a year or two ago, an awesome caterer settled around the corner of the home where we used to live. It's called after the name of the owner: Stach
It's an awesome place to get ready-to-go-meals, cooked freshly every day, and most of it is meatless. But more important: all the incredients are from local farmers and manufacturers, and picked by the season. You can imagine, we loved to go there after a busy day of work, and choose what ever we liked per person. It's a pitty it's a bit far now to go there more often, though it's better for my bankaccount for sure!

One of the first meals I bought there, were stuffed pasta shells with ricotta, topped with onions and mushrooms. It's delicate taste stayed in my mind for ever, and when they decided not to make it anymore, just to make room for new dishes which were just as good or even better, I just thought to give it a shot and make it myself.

This is the result, and believe me, it's like a taste bomb in your mouth! It's awesome! Even my kids couldn't recist the zesty mushrooms, and that's really something.
