Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: November 18 - Eater LA

"It’s starting to get cold in Los Angeles, meaning there is no better time to settle into a cozy Italian restaurant with a big plate of pasta. On a recent visit to Forma on Montana Avenue, the crispy artichoke salad caught my eye to counterbalance the copious amounts of pasta I was about to consume. Although the salad wasn’t the primary reason for the outing, it ended up being the best dish of the night: The fried artichokes mixed with arugula, fennel, and snow peas made for a phenomenally crunchy salad, while walnuts and goat cheese added texture and richness. Finishing off the night was a duo of cheesy main courses, including spaghetti all’assassina and risotto with mushrooms and truffle raclette cheese. We slugged home in a cheese- and pasta-induced coma." - Eater Staff
