9/3 Menu Drop

Join us for pick up this SUNDAY from 3 – 4 at The Good Acre.

We had so much fun at the fair! The Farmer’s Union and Hamline Dining Hall were, and always are, at the top of our list! We aren’t in the calendar this year but still urge you to support the Farmer’s Union and all local businesses. Also, thanks for saying “Hi” Suzie, it is always fun to see the CPC hive in the wild.

It is the season of the State Fair after all so we have a fun one for you; PICKLE ROLL UPS. Thats right, we took the regionally legendary height of cuisine we call PICKLE ROLL UPS and made it pasta. Cream cheese, pickles, and LOWRY HILL PROVISIONS ROYAL HAM is shaped into pasta and rolled up for your pleasure. The shape is a unique, filled pinwheel perfectly representing the traditional form of the “rollup”. Ever had anything so high and lowbrow at the same time?   

AGNOLOTTI is a favorite shape of many and commonly filled with pork. So we are using LOWRY HILL PROVISIONS Italian Sausage for our nod to the OG dago sandwich. We love DUSTY’S, but where do you get yours? There is also fresh-pulled mozzarella and the best bell peppers around. From CALIFORNIA STREET FARM we are using the Corno di Toro variety of pepper, which is literally the best tasting sweet pepper there is. We are using red and yellow, or “Escamillo”, peppers along with this amazing local sausage and fresh-pulled mozzarella for our delicious nod to the cities classic sando. The Escamillo name is a nod to the toreador in Carmen, anyone else just hear Bart Simpson when you think about Carmen? This agno is great with our POMODORO, NORMA, and also delicious with BROWN BUTTER.

CAPRESE RAVIOLI is still here! The colors of this pasta really pop when cooked. The green and red really come through after blanching which makes them extra gramable on the plate. We are going to stretch the tomato season this year as we just love it. For the third year in a row we are combining a classic flavor combo into a stunning rav. This year the ravioli is half green and half red, the top and bottom of the rav is a different color. The CAPRESE RAVIOLI is filled with fresh-pulled mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes and garden basil. Rachael pulls the mozzarella in-house so prepare for some epic cheese pulls. The local heirloom tomatoes are roasted to concentrate that sweet and umami combo we all love as tomato season. Heirloom tomatoes themselves haven’t been hybridized for shipping so they have the purest, most decadent summer tomato flavor that we wait for all year. A favorite of many with our 

Have you tried TAGLIATELLE and NORMA SAUCE yet? Tag is world famous for a good reason, it is versatile, silky, and scrumptious. We make ours using lots GRAISE FARM egg yolks for unmatched flavor and texture. Pair those eggs with BAKER’S FIELD fresh-milled ancient and heritage grains and hand cut it the old school way (chefs kiss). Then the NORMA SAUCE. The finest local eggplant is cooked until it becomes nutty and tender. Then, the eggplant is tossed into a garlic tomato sauce made from organic BIANCO DINAPOLI tomatoes. Try the Tag with NORMA this week and tell us what you think.  

The shop just got restocked at noon and is live right now! So get your orders in and we will see you at the pasta pickup on SUNDAY 9/3 from 3 – 4 at The Good Acre.!
