pumpkin and linguine pasta
Everywhere you look …. There are pumpkins! In stores, supermarkets, magazines, and clearly in all the food blogs. Halloween !!! witches and pumpkins! I honestly am not a Halloween lover, perhaps because it is not in my culture, since I was little I was never sent from my parents [...]
walnuts pesto and Porcini
O.k , now for my second recipe with walnuts, this time I used 5 ..Wahoo. I tell you, It’s not going to be easy to get through all these nuts. Anyway , for this recipe I decided to combine a walnut pesto ( I know I’m pesto crazy) with [...]
fish and caprino cheese pesto
I am very excited, this week I’ll start a course to become a Sommelier. The course will be in Orvieto. Physiology of the senses and sensory analysis, oenology and viticulture … … Wahoo! Well finally I’ll learn to distinguish the different flavors in a wine. Eventually, I will also [...]
Lasagna Porcini mushrooms and Truffles
One day not long ago I woke up and filled out the form to participate in the program MasterChef U.K. Ok, I know, I’m no master chef and the chances of being chosen are very small, practically nonexistent. But who cares. Nothing ventured nothing gained ! plus when I [...]
Pasta alla norma
Today I think I made the last harvest of tomatoes for this season. I’m speaking of tomatoes good for making sauce. For the rest , in the vegetable garden I still have : cherry tomatoes, tomatoes good for salad, aubergines and peppers. Some courgette flowers have appeared , but whether they [...]
farfalle pasta with prawns and zucchini
Ladies and gentlemen, today is my last recipe for the summer! I feel that for me it is time to take a break, recharge my batteries, to be ready by early September with many new recipes. In the middle time you can check the Sagraincasa archive [...]
bucatini with anchovies
Let’s go to Sicily? Wouldn’t it be nice? Summer is here 100% now, and finally it’s warm, incorrect….it’s backing hot! Unfortunately we don’t have a swimming pool, although a few years ago, we put a beautiful old bath in the garden with a shower head above. Clearly it is forbidden to [...]
tonnarelli and green beans pesto
Time for green beans!! Even with these I think I have exaggerated. I planted 20 plants and so now I have to create some ‘recipes. Talking with the ladies of Allerona, just to be safe, I have checked a bit ‘about the possibility of freezing some of the beans, [...]
ravioli filled with ricotta and asparagus
One of the beautiful things about living in the country is that we have many people who come to visit us . Friends and family directly from England or here in Italy. As I’ve said before here in the green hills of Umbria there is always work to be [...]
white lasagna
This weekend, we had friends staying with us, two Italians, 1 English and 1 Irish . They came for the aperitivo and we enjoyed the evening outside in the garden . Yes, because the sun has finally arrived, it’s hot! So thinking about this combination of guests I thought it could be [...]
humus
Eventually I decided to cut the grass, so I donned my very fashionable work clothes and armed with the strimmer started to cut … …., and here we are.. the wires in the strimmer sent a small stone with great speed against the glass of my car and BBHHOOMMM. Believe me I was [...]
pasta shell
To paraphrase George Clooney, no finger food, no party ! In my opinion, parties should always start from 7.00 pm. Moreover, if the party exceeds the number of 8 people, I do not think the sitting dinner is the best thing, The reason is that people can barely communicate, and you [...]
ravioli with baccalà and tomatos
Believe me I’m not obsessed with Baccalà , but going to the market in Orvieto, I saw the fish counter and I found the Baccalà already soaked. Really lucky. In that way I could use it without having to leave it in water for 12 hours .. not bad. At this [...]
baccalà and truffle pasta
The reason is that this is not the first time I’ve used the Baccalà and so I think it is important to understand the difference. I say so because, Baccalà is translated into English always as cod, but it’s not just Cod. Baccalà in Italian is salted cod. Most [...]
paccheri pumpkin and sausage
The sweetness of the pumpkin, the robust flavor of the sausage mixed with a handful of pecorino cheese and a sprinke of wild fennel flowers . I chose Paccheri as pasta but Rigatoni pasta with this sauce it will works anyway. Must try!
