    The post SM grill outcome:  ( a little heavy before the cave man...):
    Topside with some yet to finish ABT's, local Italian sausage and a Porter Road Ribeye:
    Down into the caveman pit:
    And as always the $$ shot. (Too much suntan on the outside but first time with the SM caveman-virgin deal.)
    I will do it again and soon.

    My man, what a gorgeous cook!  Perfect meat to veggie balance too.

    @GrateEggspectations did you once work as a club room talent scheduler?? 
    He!! of a tease but nailed the finish.  Not enough loonies to toss your way for the evening and the window of opportunity rightfully enjoyed.  Nailed the cook!

    That is a pretty basic sauce for Penne Rosa, make it a little different every time.  This time I softened half a diced shallot in probably 3 tbs olive oil (not EVOO), then added 1lb of sliced baby-bella.  Added salt pepper, some more olive oil and cooked them down a lot.  Then I added cherry tomatoes sliced in half (prefer a diagonal cut), and cook those down a lot too.  Sometimes I will pull the skins out, this time I did not.  Then add in a bunch of garlic.  Some thin sliced, and some micro-planed.  Cook down even more.  Then I season some more with salt and pepper, garlic powder and onion salt.  Then I add marinara, probably only 1.5 cups.  Once it is brought back to a simmer, I grate a healthy amount of parmesan reggiano (add a rind if I have it). I add some red pepper flakes and spinach.  Cook till I have incorporated about 3 handfuls of spinach.  I then add in tempered whipping cream, heavy cream, or whatever nice rich dairy product I have on hand.  Then I bring back to a simmer and season to taste.  Usually only have to add pepper and red pepper flakes at this point.  I keep it just shy of enough salt.  That is because I add fresh grated parmesan reggiano on the dish just as I serve it.  I find that adds enough additional salt and if I am not careful it will make the final dish to salty.  I also add more spinach just before I serve.  I like the cooked spinach and just wilted spinach juxtaposition.

    I change it up most times based on what I have on hand and what my mood is.  I prefer more red pepper and even some cayenne or a dried carolina reaper, but the women folk in my house do not like too spicy.

    Doing a couple of racks of spares tonight - STL cut.  Haven't done them in a while, I've been doing baby backs.   Got some meaty-looking ones from Costco -  will be smoked in the dishwasher.   It's a beautiful day here in NC.

    Unfortunately a vagitarian showed up and disliked your post.  Unfortunate, because those look absolutely amazing!  Any red blooded American would love to suck the meat off those bones!

    Great colour (nod) on those ribs. 
    Now about sucking-there is a trailer hitch reference out there somewhere.

    Thanks for the recipe. I haven't made a pasta sauce like this, so hope to try it soon.
