I honestly think this is one of the best things I’ve ever invented, although I’m sure that if I were to google it I’d find that someone has invented it already (but I’m… Continue reading

Homemade Fettuccine (al Sugo)

Ever since I was a kid I remember watching in awe as my dad would take a seemingly boring piece of dough and, using an incredible machine, magically transform it into the delicious pasta my… Continue reading

Supplí allo Zafferano

Although these aren’t the classic supplí, they were, surprisingly, the first ones I ever tried. I’ve wanted to make them for a while, but now that I came back from Egypt with tons… Continue reading

Polpettone

This is a recipe I pretty much came up with on my own to make a very common main dish in Italy. Of course, the real one is made with very different ingredients… Continue reading

Olive Ascolane

It was like love at first taste: as soon as I tried that first supplí over ten years ago, I was in love. My dad used to joke that he would perform random… Continue reading

Mini Calzoni

Before I start explaining anything, I have to point out that this isn’t a whole recipe – it’s just about how to make the pasta itself. If you want a suggestion as to… Continue reading
