I Introduce Myself

I close the eyes and think at beautiful moments passed in the places that I have had the pleasure to visit.

The memory of the words exchanged with people that I will not meet more, feel smell of a cake eaten for case in a place for case and…not forget more the sapore..

Conserve of every place the colors, the scents, the culture.

I'm Italia of the south, I have 35 years and two beautiful twin children . Open this blog is for me like opening the doors of my house, propose my recipes and receive the yours, make known to you our traditions and know those yours, to make along travel through the wealth of the foods that my earth offers every day and portami to house something of yours. I am Italian, and I decided to write a blog in English to learn (I ask excuse for the errors!!) and because I would want to share all this with who as me through the kitchen it succeeds to dream…

CAVATELLI PEPPERS AND BACON (CAVATELLI PEPERONI E BACON)



The peppers are the symbol of Mediterranean cuisine.
This is the best time to consume, are more firm and crispy.
I like use all three colors, the reds and yellows are more,  while the greens have a spicier flavor.
This recipe I find light and the bacon makes it even tasty. Seeing is believing!

CRUDAIOLA WITH ARUGOLA (CRUDAIOLA ALLA RUCOLA)

The summer is here and the heat of recent days makes you wanna just sea and relaxation.
Also decreases the appetite and is always looking for quick meals and fresh to eat lunch and even dinner.
During this period, then the password will be: the smell of summer.
Begin immediately with a classic dish that we eat so much because in addition to being lightweight, can also be consummate on the beach.



Ingredients


14.11 oz. (400g) orecchiette
2 bunches arugula
8. 81 oz. (250g) cherry tomatoes
ricotta marzotica or parmesan cheese
oil, salt and pepper to taste


In a bowl, chop the tomatoes and the arugula.
Season with plenty of oil, cheese, salt, and if you like chili.
Let rest in refrigerator.
Boil orecchiette, leaving a tablespoon of cooking water aside, and pour in the bowl.
Amalgamated the pasta with the tomatoes, add the cooking water and serve.

We prepare this dish, sometimes replacing the arugula with basil and condendo with "ricotta marzotica", a kind of crumbly cheese typical of my area.
