So today I want to talk about the amazing woman who I like to call my food mentor here in Amherst, Betty Rosbottom. Betty and her husband, who is my English professor this semester, invited a couple Amherst students over to their house to decorate their Christmas tree and eat a wonderful home-cooked meal (which is UNREAL to anyone who's ever tasted Val). We had a lovely time decorating the tree (it looks spectacular) and then Betty served us a wonderful casserole with rigatoni, tomato sauce, olives, and basil. It looked relatively simple to make and tasted delicious. She then followed it up with some of the most outrageous brownies I have ever tasted. I of course have to stay loyal to my mom's brownies, which are unbelievable, but Betty's are of such an intensely fudgey rich character, they are in a whole new category. The Brownie recipe is already on her website and Betty promised to put the pasta recipe up in January so you have to check it out: www.bettyrosbottom.com
Enjoy!
