As I already wrote previously, the Northern Pike is a very good fish, but if usually most of the recipes prepare it as a second course/main course, I have to say that it’s possible to prepare some great pasta recipes too, as I’m going to show you now 🙂 And I have to say that…

Candele spezzate alla Genovese (or simply “La Genovese”)
This is one of those recipes that makes your Sunday special 🙂 It’s probably the most typical pasta sauce of Naples area (and incredibly quite unknown in the rest of Italy), we can say it’s a recipe that has a “ritual” in it, and traditionally it’s a recipe that gathers the whole family (several people…
Bucatini all’Amatriciana
Here it is one of the most famous and iconic recipes of Italy 🙂 I could eat it 1000 times, and I could never get bored of it! So simple, and so perfect, few ingredients matching perfectly to each others, et voilà: a little masterpiece 🙂 The name “Pasta all’Amatriciana” comes from the place of origin, the…
Creamy Pumpkin Soup
We are in October, the autumn has already begun, and with the first cool weather coming for me begins the season of the soups 🙂 I really like soups, especially in autumn/winter I use to prepare them quite often, usually for dinner, and the butternut squash/pumpkin soup I find it very good. Well, it’s not…
Orzotto alle Zucchine (Pearled Barley with Zucchini and Saffron)
All of you know risotto, right? This is “about” the same, just it’s made using pearled barley rather than rice 🙂 (but it can be made also with pearled farro). We all know the importance of cereals, and this is an easy and very good way to cook barley, and the possibilities are many, like for…
Coda alla Vaccinara (Roman Style Braised Oxtail)
This is a great dish, one of those dish that you love to prepare and eat in a cool and cloudy day, like today for example 😀 I like this dish because it’s one of those dish where you can have a great taste with an ingredient that, at least once, it was considered poor…
Luccio alla mantovana (Pike at the Mantua way)
Previously I suggested recipes with European Perch, Zander and Walleye…now it’s the time of the Pike, probably the fish with the best tasting flesh in my opinion (if properly cooked), between the freshwater fish. Not many people know it, or at least not many people know how to cook it, probably the fact that it…
Pasta with Zander “ragù” (or other fish too)
As I already said, the fisherman is bringing us a lot of fish in this period 😀 not a problem, eh 😀 so here it is another recipe with zander. This is a quite simple recipe, and the final result is very good, and moreover it’s a different and tasty way to prepare this fish (or…
Risotto with European Perch
The European perch is one of my favorite fish, sure is one of the best between the freshwater fish, it’s part of the same family of the zander/walleye, and its fillets are completely boneless (and quite easy to make), so it’s perfect for many kind of recipes. Risotto with European perch is a very common recipe from…
