Let's Get This Party Started

Penne. Angel hair. Fettuccine. If you're looking for a traditional carb, then I am not the dish of your dreams. I am in a category of my very own; a more fashion-forward shaped pasta if you will. My voluptuous physique is that of an overstuffed purse, and do I have goodies to share with you that are hidden within my bag! Seven of my perfectly fashioned purses are evenly distributed on my modern rectangular white plate, coyly peeking out beneath a generous draping of thick gorgonzola cream. My outer layer is just the right amount of al dente, but once you explore my satchel, you'll discover a burst of tangy aged gorgonzola, complemented by sweet slices of luscious pear, silky caramelized onions and tender bits of meaty pancetta.

Since I am amply infused, my ingredients may scatter about onto my plate after your first satisfying bite. But take your time gathering all of my components back onto that prickly little fork of yours, and plunge me into that oh so savory cheese sauce. I am considered a small plate, but honey, my persona is anything but small. I am bursting at the seams with flavors that are so delightful, I simply can’t help leaving you begging for more.

What I’ve heard from my audience: "One can never have too many purses."

Who am I? Beggars Purse Pasta

These designer handbags were created by Chef Keith King at Label Seven. One size fits all.

  3. So entertaining! I don't even like gorgonzola, but after reading this I might have to give it another try. Can't wait to see the next one.

  4. Your post led me to look at the restaurant's website, and now I totally want to go there ASAP. I know in time the restaurants you feature will realize what great advertising this is! Good luck!

  6. Adena,

    If the food is half as scrumptious as the description, I've got to try a beggar's purse -- or should I say murse? I'd never heard of Label Seven, but we are definitely checking it out on our next date night.
