The art of Italian cooking: pasta with leaf cabbage and beans

Saturday 4 September 2010

Hi, this is the sixty seventh post about the art of cooking Italian pasta.

Carlo and I created a lot of new recipes with pasta with fish, meat and vegetable sauce. So today we want to present a very tasty one-plate meal whose main ingredients are: pasta, leaf cabbage, tomatoes, good-quality extra virgin olive oil and aromatic herbs.  Fall is going and this recipe may be interesting.
It’s easy-to-do and very cheap.
Generally we use a typical Sardinian pasta called malloreddus or little dry dumpings.
It can be a recipe for your weekly fall and winter menu.

The art of Italian cooking: spaghetti with squids and peas

Wednesday 1 September 2010

Hi, this is the sixty sixth post about the art of cooking Italian pasta.
In these last days we have showed you some recipes of ours made with dry pasta and fish combined with vegetables.
Today we want to explain how to make a perfect pasta dish with squids.

Do you like squids? Carlo and I like them very much and in Italy one of the tastiest combination is squids with peas. So we are used to make a simple sauce with these two ingredients.
This pasta tastes fantastic and smells fantastic! Besides it’s an healthy recipe for some reasons:

1) we put all the ingredients in the pan to make sauce without browning the onion in the olive oil and add the olive oil only when we have just switched off the gas. In this way we maintain the high nutrition properties of olive oil.

2) generally we use a wholegrain pasta or felt or kamut pasta
