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 [...]

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 [...]

Happy Birthday

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

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 [...]

Good combination

paccheri sals e finocchio 1sL

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!
