It’s herb season! We got thyme in the box for the first time, and basil is coming out of our ears. My neighbor’s rosemary bush, which might have made some surreptitious contributions to meals past, is exploding right now, practically covering the sidewalk. Herbs are everywhere, and I love it.

I tried the sauce recipe included in this gnocchi recipe the other day. It’s a bolognese made with ground pork. What’s awesome about it (besides the pork because I love some pork) is that it uses the holy trinity of the summer CSA: onions, peppers, and tomatoes. It also calls for basil and parsley, but … Continue reading
