Simple Italian made magnificent

My boyfriend and I spent a week in NYC, where he was shooting the TV show he works on. Lucky for us, restaurants in Manhattan stay open late. One night we had a late dinner at a little Italian place called Luna Piena. It was absolutely divine.

Instead of just bread and olive oil, we were brought bread, olive oil and a mixture of olives and lentils.

My meal was baked wheat penne with fresh mozzarella on top, mixed with some vegetables (zucchini, yellow squash, onions).



Jason got regular penne with buffalo mozzarella and eggplant.

Our desserts were even better than our entrees, but I stupidly didn't take pictures of them. I had the most heavenly poached pear and he had a super yummy pistachio creme brulee.
