I am very excited about today’s recipe! I am partnering with Pasta Garofalo to bring to you Ziti with Neapolitan Meat Ragout, the quintessential Sunday supper meal. As the name suggests, this mouth-watering dish is typical of the beautiful southern city of Naples. This is a city that has been ruled by many different people…

Homemade Pasta Made Simple
As you probably already know, in the past few months, I have been working really hard on a very exciting project. I know I have been keeping you on your toes, but the time has finally come to introduce my latest work of love: Homemade Pasta Made Simple.
Pasta with Baby Eggplants
Finally I am back with another pasta recipe! This Pasta with Baby Eggplants is a dish my grandmother used to make in Sicily. I have always loved it… it’s very easy to make and whenever I find baby eggplants at the grocer, I always buy them to make this pasta. What sets this sauce aside…
Fried Pasta
Today I will share with you a recipe that my mother used to make often: fried pasta. It’s not even a “proper recipe”, in the sense that the ingredients listed do not have precise proportions. You can kind of wing it, really. It is just a very clever way to use up leftover pasta with…

Parmigiano Reggiano Tortellini with Artichokes
If you follow Manu’s Menu regularly, you will know that artichoke is my absolute favourite winter vegetable! Today I will show you how to make Parmigiano Reggiano Tortellini with Artichokes, a real treat! The tortellini are filled with Parmigiano Reggiano and the artichokes are used in a very simple sauce. The combination is amazing and…
Baked Ndunderi
Today I am back with a traditional recipe from the south of Italy: Baked Ndunderi (pronounced “doon-der-ee”) . Ndunderi are hand-made gnocchi-like pasta from the Amalfi Coast, near Naples. I must admit that, unfortunately, this pasta is not very well known around Italy, which is a real pity as it tastes amazing. Ndunderi are a…
Pasta con Aglietto e Prezzemolino
Today I am going to show you how to make a very easy pasta dish that my family calls Pasta con Aglietto e Prezzemolino – aka pasta with garlic and parsley. This is part of my little series on easy, quick and affordable pasta recipes like Pasta with Peas, Pasta with Braised Onions and Pasta with Fried…
Pasta with Meatballs
Today’s post is really important for me. As you know, I am all for real Italian food. That’s the very reason why I started this blog. I have always stated that Spaghetti with Meatballs is not a classic Italian dish. And I completely stand by it. That said, my mother used to make meatballs in…
Pasta with Braised Onions
Pasta with Braised Onions, or Pasta con la Cipolla as we say, is one of my mother’s recipes. It is a very quick, easy and affordable dinner idea that tastes delicious. It’s part of my series on quick and affordable pasta recipes just like Pasta with Peas and Pasta with Fried Zucchini. These are all dishes…
Pasta with Peas #SundaySupper
Welcome to this week’s #SundaySupper event which is all about spring! As you know, I live in Australia, which means we are in the middle of autumn at the moment, but that doesn’t stop the Italian in me to think of April as spring… so… Today’s recipe is part of my little series about quick, simple…
Pasta with Fried Zucchini
I know I don’t even enough pasta recipes on the blog… and that’s such a pity! So, I decided to fix it and I am planning a little series about quick, simple and affordable pasta recipes. Who says that you need to go out of budget to have “real, healthy food”? Pasta usually makes everyone…
Porcini and Taleggio Lasagne
Merry Christmas everybody! For Christmas, Italians often prepare a pasta bake or lasagne, so today I thought of sharing one of my all time favourite: Porcini and Taleggio Lasagne. This has to be one of my all time favourite vegetarian lasagne! It is very easy to make and it only requires a few ingredients. Yet, the…
Troccoli with Nonna’s Pork Ragu
Today’s recipe is very dear to me. It was my grandmother Maria’s speciality and, as I have recently shared my guide on Palermo, I thought it would be the right time for me to share this recipe, that has been sitting in my archives for a little while now. I learnt how to make this…
Tuna, Olive and Caper Pasta with Garlic Breadcrumbs
Today’s recipe is a classic in my kitchen. I make it often and it is one of my husband’s favourite pasta dishes. I cannot believe that I have been blogging for over 4 years and I haven’t shared this recipe yet! But I guess it’s like all the things that you are very familiar with:…
Pasta with Bell Pepper and Gorgonzola Cream
I first had something similar to this Pasta with bell pepper and Gorgonzola cream years ago in Milano. My husband and I would go and eat at our favourite restaurant for every special occasion and this pasta was often on the menu. Bell peppers/capsicums and Gorgonzola make for a fantastic combination: the first are sweet,…
Ravioli di Magro #SundaySupper
This week’s #SundaySupper theme is “Retro Food”. Ah, how fun is that? The thing is, being Italian, I have no idea what people in other countries used to cook and eat in the past… so, I had to resort to an Italian recipe. And I went for a classic. I must admit that this dish is…
Beetroot Pasta Hearts with Goat Cheese
As you know, I love to play around with pasta’s colours and shapes. With Valentine’s Day coming up in a couple of days, I thought heart shaped pasta would be in order. And to make it even more appropriate for the occasion, I thought of making it pink. You simply add some beetroot to your…

Swordfish and Pistachio Pasta
Pasta, finally. You know that, even though I am Italian, I don’t share pasta recipes as much as I’d like. The main reason is that I don’t like to take pictures of pasta. There, I said it. When I take the shots for my blog, I don’t like to be rushed and I prefer to…
Pappardelle alla Contadina
A few weeks ago, I reviewed the Toollio, an amazing multi-function food processor that really makes your life easier in the kitchen. I am very happy with it and, as promised, I am doing a little series on recipes developed using the Toollio to showcase its versatility. After making some hearty meatballs and a luscious cheesecake, today…
