ORECCHIETTE CON VERDURA RIPASSATA – ORECCHIETTE WITH SPICY VEGGIES

Steph from Stephfood was our Daring Cooks‘ July hostess.  Steph challenged us to make homemade noodles without the help of a motorized pasta machine.  She provided us with recipes for Spätzle and Fresh Egg Pasta as well as a few delicious sauces to pair our noodles with!  Needless to say I couldn’t have been more…

SPAGHETTI WITH TUNA AND CAPSICUM

This is a very simple pasta dish.  I like it because it is really tasty, colourful and easy to prepare.  I usually make it when I do not have a lot of time, but feel like eating something flavoursome and healthy.  Try and make it as a mid week dinner, I am sure you will…

PASTA WITH CREAMY BROCCOLI AND PINE NUT SAUCE

I have always liked broccoli (which in Italian are referred to as “broccoletti” to differentiate them from the big roman or purple broccoli), even as a child.  Then again, I also used to like brussel sprouts, so I guess I was not a fussy child when it came to eating my veggies.  Anyhow, this very…

Porcini Mushrooms

PAPPARDELLE WITH PORCINI MUSHROOMS

This is a classic dish.  It is very easy to make and will impress even the fussiest eater!  Porcini mushrooms are the key here.  Their flavour and aroma has no comparison.  I consider them to be the “king of all mushrooms”.  In my opinion, no other mushroom gets even close to them in flavour.  They…

Spaghetti with fish sauce

SPAGHETTI WITH FISH SAUCE

This is another one of my mother’s recipes.  It is very simple and very tasty.  I love the delicate fish taste that gets in the sauce… yum!  To make it, you need a very bony fish that is also very cartilaginous… any fish suitable to make soup is fine.  I usually make it with red…

Penne with zucchini and speck

PENNE WITH ZUCCHINI AND SPECK

This pasta brings back lots of wonderful childhood memories.  I still remember the first time I ate this pasta even though I was only 7 years old.  It was a very cold winter evening and I was on a ski holiday, a “settimana bianca” (literally a “white week”) as we call it in Italy.  We…

STROZZAPRETI WITH SPECK AND PISTACHIO PESTO

The last time I went to Italy was in 2008.  We went during summer, so we also went to Sicily to spend some time at the seaside in a small village called San Vito Lo Capo (Wiki).  Our eldest daughter was 1 year old then and Clint and I could finally leave her with my…

Farfalle with salmon

FARFALLE WITH SALMON – FARFALLE AL SALMONE

This is a very easy and quick pasta recipe.  I really like it because it is one of those dishes that is fast to prepare and looks and tastes very good.  I remember eating this at my friend Elena’s house during our high school years and whenever her mom made it, it would be a…

SPAGHETTI WITH MULLET ROE – SPAGHETTI CON BOTTARGA DI MUGINE

I have to admit that I have just recently discovered this dish, at least in the way you are going to read below.  As you know, my family is from Sicily and the area around Trapani is well renowned for its tuna products, among which the famous tuna roe (bottarga di tonno).  It is an…

STRASCINATI “TRICOLORE”

This is the second dish from the menu that I have come up with to celebrate the 150 years of the Unification of Italy.  It is the main dish of the theme menu and, like the entree already published -“Tricolore salad”- it also has the colors of the Italian flag: white, red and green.  This…

Garlic breadcrumbs

CASARECCE WITH TUNA AND LEMON TOPPED WITH GARLIC BREADCRUMBS

This is a very simple, yet flavoursome pasta dish.  I ate it for the first time many years ago at a family friend’s house (Laura) and I have been making it ever since.  What I love the most about this pasta is the contrast between strong flavours (lemon and garlic) and between textures: the softness…

Eggplant

BUSIATI WITH PESTO TRAPANESE AND FRIED EGGPLANT – BUSIATI CULL’AGGHIA

This is probably the most traditional pasta you can eat in the area of Trapani, in western Sicily.  Both the pasta and the sauce are, together with fish couscous, the most well known dishes of the area.  The sauce is very easy to make and it is the Trapanese version of pesto.  It is similar…

MY SPAGHETTI CARBONARA – SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA ALLA MIA MANIERA

That’s right… “my” spaghetti carbonara.  Carbonara is a very popular dish and it is well known all over the world.  The name derives from “charcoal” (carbone in Italian) either as a tribute to the secret society Carboneria (whose members were known as Carbonari – Wiki) that fought for the unity of Italy in the 19th century,…

RICOTTA GNOCCHI WITH THREE SAUCES – TRIS DI GNOCCHI DI RICOTTA

What can I say?  Ricotta gnocchi is one of my favourite dishes… and for my birthday, I thought I deserved a triple treat!  The classic way to serve ricotta gnocchi is with butter and sage, but I love them with lots of different sauces.  Have I mentioned that gorgonzola is my favourite cheese?  So, I…

PENNE WITH SAUSAGE SAUCE – PENNE CON SUGO DI SALSICCIA

This is one of my family’s favourite pasta sauces!  The first time I have eaten this dish was many years ago, at some family friends’ house in Sicily.  Their names are Giovanni and Giovanna.  It is a very earthy pasta dish and my girls love it.  Do not worry about the Brandy/Cognac shot… the alcohol…

VERMICELLI WITH ANCHOVIES AND ROASTED BREADCRUMBS – VERMICELLI ALL’ACCIUGHINA E “MUDDICA ATTURRATA”

This is one of my husband’s favourite pasta sauces.  It is very simple indeed.   It is what we call a dish for the “poor person”, as in the past not everyone could afford fresh fish or meat or cheese.  In fact, it is made with anchovies and instead of eating it with grated cheese, we…

PESTO LINGUINE – LINGUINE AL PESTO GENOVESE

This is a typical recipe from Genoa and is usually eaten with linguine or trofie pasta and would require potatoes and green beans.  It is a very common dish in Italy and you can find “ready made” versions of pesto almost anywhere… The home made one though tastes much better and it is very easy…

PIZZOCCHERI

This is a traditional dish from Valtellina, a valley on the Italian Alps. It is typically eaten in winter and/or cold weather…. that’s why it is quite high on calories… but it is to die for!!!
