Today’s post is a “fight-against-waste” recipe! I had a nice rack of pork spare ribs in the freezer, so I gathered all the left overs I had in my fridge and built up a recipe from there. I also did some research on the web and saw I could make something yummy out of these…
COTECHINO WITH LENTILS

GREEN LASAGNE WITH STRACCHINO, ARTICHOKES AND SAUSAGE
When I think of comfort food, the first image that comes to my mind is a plate full of lasagne… no matter how they are made (with a classic beef sauce, with pesto or with any other ingredients), lasagne represent comfort food to me (and the majority of Italians). They are easily going to be…

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.
