Shrimp and Farro Salad
Gabriele Corcos did it again!  We recreated his masterpiece from the Extra Virgin show on the Cooking Channel and it was "Fabuloso"!  We have never eaten Farro - an Italian grain - the star of the meal.  It wasn't an inexpensive dish, but if you are looking for a WOW factor, this will do it.  The only variation from the recipe was we eliminated the mint from the dressing and replaced it with fresh basil.  We oven roasted the shrimp at 350 degrees  with olive oil, lime. salt and pepper.  This is a cold salad and prepared all ingredients earlier in the day, keeping the the ingredients separate until just before serving.  Although, we did wait to make the dressing just before serving.  

Here is the link to the Shrimp and Farro Salad recipe:

We actually recreated the entire meal from that episode -  The cold fresh Farro Salad placed beside the Pesto Lasagne was a perfect meal marriage!  The delicate layers of the "no-cook" lasagne noodles accompanied with the fresh pesto and besciamella was luxurious!  We did make an addition of very thinned sliced grilled eggplant to one of the layers and sauteed mushrooms to another layer. After placing the bottom layer of noodles, we placed a single layer of eggplant and the next layer we placed the mushrooms, followed by another four layers according to the recipe.   We also prepared the lasagne early in the day and pulled it out of the fridge about an hour before we put it in the oven.  You won't be disappointed by either of these dishes!

For desert we made the Flourless Chocolate Cake from a few posts ago, but this time we added a dollop of orange whipped cream on top.  Perfection!
