Here it is another very good and healthy legume soup: I love legumes 🙂 You can find many recipes about chickpeas soups (for example in Tuscany there is a similar recipe but they add fresh tagliolini pasta too), but I really like this one, with the extra flavor given by the rosemary which fits very…

Baked Gilt-Head Sea Bream, Very Easy
This is a recipe I like to do when I don’t want to think too much about how to cook a whole gilt-head sea bream (or a sea bass, a dentex or other similar fish) 🙂 The recipe is really easy and simple, so it’s perfect to cook a delicate fish: I don’t usually like too…
Pork Tenderloin with Cider Sauce
This is a very good recipe that I decided to make today when I realized that I still had a bottle of Sidra Asturiana (cider of Asturias) at home, the last of the ones I bought when we went to Oviedo 🙂 so this recipe reminded me also of that good time 🙂 Moreover apple and…
Pasta e Lenticchie – Pasta and Lentils, Neapolitan Style
Here it is another very good traditional pasta recipe coming from the area of Naples, following the similar previous ones made with beans, with chickpeas and with potatoes 🙂 Lentils are a very good and healthy legume, rich in proteins and in iron. There are various types of lentils, with different colors, shapes, size. And…
Pasta con Sugo di Peposo – Pasta with “Peposo” sauce (made with “leftovers”)
Rather than a recipe this is again another very good and easy re-use of the “leftovers“, while the main recipe for the “Peposo” you can find it in the previous post 🙂 (and sincerely these are not leftovers, when I prepare this kind of recipes I often cook something more to be able to prepare also…
Polenta
Following a post about Baccalà, here it comes the post about the other traditional dish that composes part of my blog’s name 🙂 Polenta, just the name reminds me automatically rich stews or roasted meat recipes, especially those which are usually prepared in the winter season (but not only)! Those kind of intense flavors, juicy meats, tasty…
Frico Friulano
The Frico is a typical dish from Friuli Venezia Giulia region, and probably its more representative recipe (more precisely the area called Carnia). The dish is quite well known, especially if you are a food passionate living in Italy for sure you have heard of it, but I had the chance to eat it for…
Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is one of the most famous sauces in the world I guess 🙂 and I also have my favorite version, although I rarely do it. The mayonnaise is one of the base sauces of the classic French cuisine, it has a long history but its origin it’s not certain: someone say the origin of…
Pasta e Patate – Pasta and Potatoes, Neapolitan Style
“Past’ e patane” they say in Naples 🙂 Many times people tell me “you eat pasta so often? it’s not good”, so probably some of them could be shocked to the idea of pairing pasta and potatoes in the same recipe (“carbs with carbs, oh my God!“), especially according to some modern and trendy diets spreading…
Ossobuco alla Milanese – Veal/Beef Shank, Milan Style
The “Ossobuco alla Milanese” is absolutely one of my favorite recipes, I simply love it, and the particular taste given by the so called “gremolada” makes it special and delicious 🙂 (The gremolada is a mixture of lemon zest, parsley and garlic added in the end, which is the special ingredient absolutely needed in this recipe). Moreover…
Tonno e Piselli – Tuna and Peas
Today I’m showing a very easy and simple recipe, but which is very good 🙂 It’s not something you are going to find in restaurants, it’s just an easy food to prepare during a week day. My mom used to prepare this dish to me quite often for lunch when I came back from school…
Pasta e Ceci – Pasta and Chickpeas, Neapolitan Style
This recipe it’s very similar to the recipe I showed in the post “Pasta e Fasule“, just this time we use chickpeas and not beans 🙂 Like that recipe, also this one is traditional of Naples area. It’s a creamy pasta, quite thick, but of course everyone can choose to have it more or less…
