For much of this summer, I cooked my own meals. I didn't go out nearly as often as I have at times in the past. So yesterday, for my last big Italian meal, I decided to have the penne all'amatriciana. It's a spicy tomato sauce with chopped up bacon pieces, and it is delicious. The one I had yesterday was good, but not the best I've had. It was great having that dish again though.
I also had the costoletto Milanese, which is a pounded out veal cutlet usually serves on the bone. It's a traditional dish in Milan, and I've yet to have a bad one. I love squirting some lemon on top for added flavor. It was served with arugula, and I'm beginning to wonder if meat should ever be served without arugula. It's the perfect addition.
