I have blogged about this recipe before, however, every time I make lamb I am reminded about how incredibly easy and FAST it is. I was always quite intimidated by lamb (especially a huge rack of it!) but it’s just so easy. The only thing I forgot was to moisten the corn meal so it stayed a bit dry (and I added all the mustard this time rather than halfing it… which was upsetting to me as a mustard hater but Mikey liked it)
We paired it with a rice pilaf that is always delicious and easy.
And I had some leftover butternut squash soup. But I wanted a veggie…
So what is that? It’s canned peas with shredded cheese. DELISH! (and sooo easy)
I’m a big fan of Becco (46th between 8th and 9th) and was there just a few months ago. Mike had never been, so after another full day of packing, we indulged yet again.
Their breadsticks are more like cracksticks. I can never stop eating them.
All entrees and the pasta special come with a caesar salad. Since this means almost everyone eats it, it should be a very good caesar. And it is. Mike reasoned that they must use anchovies in their dressing. It’s especially delicious.
Mike took my recommendation and ordered the Osso Bucco, but decided to add on the pasta tasting for $9 (not a bad deal!) I really wanted the pasta, however, I ran into the same problem as last time where they put red pepper flakes in everything. BOOO. I got to try the pumpkin raviolis from Mike, however, and they were tasty. He seemed to enjoy the others as well.
I went with the rack of lamb this time. It was good, but I found myself really missing that Osso Bucco. It is just so good. (Thankfully my boyfriend is a very good sharer)
We were way too stuff for dessert, but the meal was really, really good. Becco is consistently good, and their pasta tasting and $25 wine list really make it a great destination on Restaurant Row. If you’re going to a show, make a reservation and go to Becco first.
