Cooking tips

Buy Local Food : Strawberries, blueberries and many other kinds of fruit often are available from farms that allow you to do the harvesting (or not, if you prefer to pay for the cost of picking). Many fruits are easy to freeze, and apples will keep all winter in a cool corner of the garage.

Buy Local Food : As an ‘everything in moderation’ kind of guy, I’d find a strict local food diet fascinating but obsessive and intimidating, says Peter Marks, program coordinator for the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project in Asheville, N.C. He suggests a more gradual approach: Every week or month, replace one food in your diet that’s provided by a big, faraway company with a locally grown food.

Trying Organic Food : If you are sick, you might feel sicker temporarily, as your body dumps stored toxins (heavy metals, drugs, cooked-food residues) that overwhelmed it and accumulated over a lifetime. This is called detoxification. Take it slow-eat more raw fat or cooked starch to slow down detoxification, if needed. Your body has tremendous healing power. Give it time (months or years) to fully recover from years of abuse.

Ingredients And Procedures

4 Cups sheep's milk ricotta

2 Bunches Italian parsley -- finely chopped

1 Cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano -- plus 1/4 C

1 Teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

3 eggs

1 Recipe basic pasta

6 Tablespoons butter

10 sage leaves

Bring 6 quarts of water to boil and add 2 tablespoons of salt.

In a mixing bowl, stir together ricotta, parsley, Parmigiano, nutmeg and eggs until well blended. Roll out pasta to thinnest setting and cut into 6-inch squares. Place 2 tablespoons ricotta mixture in the center of each square. Fold opposite corners of each square together and press firmly to seal and form a triangle. Bring opposite points of the triangle together to form a ring and press firmly to meld the ends together. Continue until all pasta is done. Drop tortelloni into boiling water and cook until tender, about 8 to 9 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt butter and sage together in a 12 to 14-inch saute pan over medium heat, being careful not to brown. Drain cooked tortelloni and gently pour into pan with butter and remaining cheese and toss gently over medium heat. Place in warm serving bowl and serve immediately.
