In Food on July 27, 2012 at 10:53 pm
I was so excited that my favorite “pasta” restaurant has come out with a summer menu that I had to share the email. Check out below courtesy of Porsena.

Seared skate wing, Umbrian lentils & heirloom broccoli raab  

Chef Sara Jenkins has crafted a summer menu at Porsena: appetizers of a tomato & cucumber salad, a brandied chicken pâté, and salt cod cakes!

Porsena Summer Menu

 Fettucine rigate with grilled sepia & aromatic herbs

New pastas are pesto siciliano with pistachio, mint, and basil / pennette with green and yellow zucchini / gnocchetti with white beans, diced tomato, and manila clams / and a fettucine rigate with grilled sepia and aromatic herbs.

    Eggplant parmigiana, tomato, and besciamel baked in terra cotta 

The meat in the slow-cooked ragu will change on a daily basis, while the lasagna is seasonally replaced with a baked eggplant parmigiana w/ besciamel in terra cotta.
