More Than Cheese at Murray’s
I was walking around the West Village the other day when I found myself in front of Murray’s Cheese. Strange as it may sound, I had never been to Murray’s, though I had heard a lot of great things about it.
To my delight, Murray’s sells much more than cheese (although they have plenty of great cheeses). I treated myself to a container of Siggi’s Skyr, which is an Icelandic yogurt-like product. I got the plain version, which was like the creamiest, richest yogurt you’ve ever eaten, with zero fat. I also got some great pasta — nice fresh potato gnocchi, and some dried orrichiette.
Here’s what I did with the orrichiette — I added the boiled pasta to some cabbage and shitakes in olive oil and butter, with salt, pepper and a hot chile (don’t forget to add some of the pasta cooking water towards the end). The result was rich, buttery and wonderful and the orrichiette was nice and chewy.
Oh, I also picked a brick of parmesan cheese while I was at Murray’s. It is a cheese shop, after all. I didn’t use it on this pasta, however. The flavors were spot on already.
