Linguine alla Nerano - Zucchini fried in olive oil and seasoned with salt right after being removed. Into that same oil goes a bunch of basil, imparting a grassy freshness. Add the linguine with some butter, parm and pecorino. Savory, simple, and delicious!

“Every year since Little Owl opened in 2006, I’ve made Seder dinner for our original landlord and his family. We’d always discuss the menu, year after year, we’d make some changes, but not many with a traditional meal like that.

One thing never changed.

He always asked for a gute matzo kneydl zup mit braizte flanken.

In honor of Fred Rudd, Chag Sameach and rest in peace. We’ll be serving it this Passover at Little Owl.

All love.” -Chef Joey Campanaro.

“Growing up, my mom would say, ‘It’s not cheesecake if it doesn’t have cracks on the top.’ And truly, I am all for the glory of imperfection in nature and in cooking (you’ll notice that my pancakes aren’t perfectly round, my breadsticks aren’t uniformly cut, and achieving a gorgeous burst-of-flavor surprise from an imperfectly torn, large piece of herb in a salad comes from not wanting to be too perfect).

But I want my cheesecake smooth, rich, luscious, and crack-free. Sorry, Mom.

This recipe calls for a water bath so that the center stays moist and the edges don’t brown and dry, which prevents cracks from forming. It’s old-school mom-mom Philadelphia-style cheesecake meets professional chef moves.

P.S. If I had to choose a last supper, it would be spaghetti and clams, Jonathan Waxman’s roasted chicken (from his book Italian, My Way), and this Philadelphia-style (sorry, New York) cheesecake for dessert.”
