5 stars

Love, love, love this tofu preparation!
It's basically lightly 'fried' tofu which has been dipped in egg and panko.
The ginger vinaigrette is mild and pairs nicely with the tofu.

Very easy and fast -- with simple ingredients.  My new favorite way to eat tofu.

Ingredients:  firm tofu, egg, panko, ginger, scallions, white wine vinegar, canola oil, salt

No rating:  I need to make it again

This recipe turned out a bit dry, but it's due to 2 issues:
- I overcooked the pork!
- The organic ricotta I bought was drier than usual

The flavors were good, so we'll definitely make this again -- will just need to check on the pork earlier to make sure the pork doesn't get overcooked and that the cooking liquid doesn't reduce as much.

Note:  This is a weekend meal, taking about 4.5 hours (most of it cooking time in the oven).

Ingredients:  boneless pork roast, rigatoni, ricotta, garlic, whole milk, dry white wine, lemon, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon zest, rosemary, bay leaf, Kosher salt and pepper, fresh grated pecorino cheese
