Parmigiano Reggiano Tortellini with Artichokes

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…

Porcini and Taleggio Lasagne

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…

Ravioli di Magro

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…

Radicchio and Taleggio Lasagne

Radicchio and Taleggio Lasagne

This, together with my Pesto Lasagne, 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 end result tastes amazing.  I think Taleggio and Radicchio were created to be eaten together as their flavours complement each other perfectly.  These…

Lasagne with zucchini pesto, speck and smoked scamorza

LASAGNE WITH ZUCCHINI PESTO, SPECK AND SMOKED SCAMORZA

Mmmm Lasagne!  My favourite dish ever.  Growing up my parents and I would make Lasagne for big occasions, like Christmas or birthdays.  And they would always be the classic meat version (you can find my recipe here).  Well, lately I have been making all sorts of Lasagne.  Remember my Pesto Lasagne (my all time favourite!), or…

Lasagne Verdi

LASAGNE VERDI

Today’s recipe is a variation on the classic Baked Lasagne that I have already shared with you in the past.  The main difference is that this dish is made using “green” pasta sheets that are made with spinach.  You can find a tutorial on how to make your own green pasta dough here.  I can…

Mint & Potato Triangolini with burnt butter

MINT & POTATO TRIANGOLINI WITH BURNT BUTTER

Today’s recipe – Mint & Potato Triangolini with burnt butter – is about simple ingredients.  Actually, come to think of it, authentic Italian cooking is often about simple ingredients.  I really wanted to make some stuffed pasta, but I did not have a lot of time (nor the ingredients) to make a traditional filling for it. …

Pesto Lasagne

PESTO LASAGNE

I am very excited about today’s recipe.  The reason is simple: it is one of my all time favourite dishes.  I have always loved lasagne, but growing up I had always only eaten the classic meat version.  It wasn’t until I was a teenager that I had my first lasagne with pesto.  I was at…

Green tagliatelle with tuna and ricotta

GREEN TAGLIATELLE WITH TUNA AND RICOTTA

Today I want to share with you a dish that is very dear to my heart.  It is a very simple recipe, but if made with home made pasta it can be a little bit more labour intensive (but so much worth it!).  The reason why I love it so much is because it reminds…

Cannelloni al pesto

CANNELLONI AL PESTO

Today I am going to share with you the last of the recipes that I provided to my fellow Daring Cooks for this month’s challenge.  It is another one of my favourites as I love pesto and making cannelloni with it takes this dish to a new dimension!  I have also shown them how to…

CANNELLONI WITH RICOTTA, HAM AND FONTINA

After sharing my Cannelloni di magro and Cannelloni di carne recipes, today I am back to share with all of you my recipes from the challenge I hosted at the Daring Cooks’!  This is a recipe I found while browsing the web and it is the only one that was not a “family recipe”.  I…

Cannelloni di carne

CANNELLONI DI CARNE

As you know, I am hosting this month’s challenge at the Daring Cooks and I challenged my fellow daring cooks to make Italian Cannelloni from scratch!  After posting about the first recipe I shared with them (Cannelloni di magro), today I will show you how to make beef and pork Cannelloni, which is another classic…

Lasagne

BAKED LASAGNE

Today I want to share with you the recipe for one of the most iconic Italian dishes ever: lasagne.  It is a dish for special occasions or Sunday lunches spent with family and friends… so it is more time consuming than a mid-week dish.  But I can guarantee you that you will not mind the…

PASTA CON I FEGATINI – PASTA WITH CHICKEN LIVER

As I already said in my Chicken Liver Parcels – Fegatini al cartoccio post, I never enjoyed eating liver while growing up, with the exception of chicken liver.  There are 2 dishes made with chicken liver that I have always LOVED: one is the Parcels and the second one is the dish I am going…

Parmigiano Reggiano Fagottini in Chicken Broth

PARMIGIANO REGGIANO FAGOTTINI IN CHICKEN BROTH

In Italy, a typical Christmas Eve dinner always includes some stuffed pasta, better if it is home-made and “di magro” (which means without meat).  We often serve this pasta in chicken broth and it is such a comforting food!  So, to follow the tradition, I decided to make stuffed pasta and serve it with chicken…

ARTICHOKE AND RICOTTA MEZZELUNE ON A PARMIGIANO REGGIANO FONDUE

This stuffed pasta dish is the second of my series of posts dedicated to my Foodbuzz 24×24 Christmas in July event.  Italians always have some sort of stuffed pasta at Christmas, especially at their Christmas Eve dinner (at this meal we traditionally do not eat meat).  This does not mean the meal is light though! …

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…
