MILES FOR MEATBALLS WITH CHEF ANTHONY CATURANO, MAYOR SEFATIA, AND WARREN WAUGH AUTOS!

Generous donors rally for breast cancer awareness.

In honor of breast cancer awareness month, Miles for Meatballs today raised a whopping $4,700.00 for breast cancer!!! The event was hosted by Mayor Sefatia, Tonno’s Chef Anthony Caturano, and Warren Waugh of Lyon-Waugh Auto Group. The Miles for Meatballs event began with a scenic tour around Cape Ann in luxury cars from the very generous Warren Waugh. The drive was followed by a fabulous late afternoon dinner at Tonno. Chef Anthony prepared his famous homemade meatballs and sausage with zugu/gravy, served over the creamiest polenta you can imagine. The homestyle, yet elegant dinner was accompanied by an outstanding Caesar salad and delicious cannolis. Every Sunday Chef Anthony serves a traditional meatball and zugu/gravy Sunday family dinner and I know where we will be having dinner next Sunday!

 

 

 

Felicia’s Zugu For The Pasta With The Shrimp

You get a loaf of Italian bread and stand infront of the stove dipping the bread in the sauce and you might not leave until every last peice of bread is gone- trust me on this one. Video tomorrow night!

Ma’s Meatballs

Yesterday my girls went to my mothers house to learn how to make the zugu and mudiga.  After work I went by to taste the fruit of their labor.  Yum!  I had about 6 slices of Virgilio’s bread dipped in the zugu on the stove before I even got to the table.

My Gaguzza at Passports

I’m proud to say that Eric at Passports put my recipe for Gaguzza on the menu yesterday.

What is gauguzza you ask?

It’s zuccini. The preparation for this dish is thinly sliced zuccini breaded and fried with the Italian breadcrumbs (mudiga) then layered with fresh mozzarella sitting on top of the zugu so the fried gaguzza doesn’t get all soggy.

Delicious! Go see Eric and ask for the Gaguzza!
