Pasta alle Noci

Lisa’s Fettuccine
It’s rare that I find or hear about a recipe and then don’t tweak it a little while I’m actually making it. The only time that I try as hard as possible to… Continue reading
Zucchini and Mint Soup
Ever since I got a hand blender, I’ve been experimenting with making soups – something I’d never even done before a month ago. I don’t even like soups that much, but for some… Continue reading

Aubergine and Pine Nut Pasta

Pepper and Tomato Pasta
My mom had always told me that peppers and pasta don’t go well together, except for a few very specific mixes with blue cheese and cream. Since she was never wrong about anything… Continue reading
Blue Hokkaido Pumpkin Ravioli

Conchiglie al Pesto ‘al Forno’
I was intending to make pesto lasagne this time, except unfortunately when I went out to buy lasagna sheets I couldn’t find any Italian ones. I went to the biggest supermarket and town,… Continue reading
Pesto alla Mamma
As far as I know, my mom came up with this, which she called ‘pesto sugoso’. We all loved it, and it’s an excellent pasta to make pretty much always. It’s also not… Continue reading

Lemon Basil Risotto
This recipe has a very particular and strong taste, which basically means that if you like lemon, you’ll love it. Unfortunately, if you don’t like lemon all that much, there’s a chance you… Continue reading
Bread Pizzas
Here is perhaps one of the best ‘lazy’ foods there is: the bread pizza. It tastes kind of like pizza, but while it is clearly a completely different thing, it still tastes great.… Continue reading
Umbricelli al Sugo
In most Italian households, sugo al pomodoro, or just sugo, is the standard sauce for pasta. When the cook has had a bad day, or a lazy day, it’s always pasta al sugo… Continue reading
Tomato and Avocado Ciabatta
This was probably one of my most successful experiments. I have been desperately trying to think of some kind of vegan version of the classic italian panino, which is one of my favorite Italian… Continue reading
