These are my latest recipes The Easter dove, the simple one, but… When I published the photos of my Easter doves on Facebook I didn't expect so many appreciations; also because, let's face it, large leavened products are certainly not one of my specialties. Moreover, these doves hide a trick: The recipe, at this point, was due!

Here you can find some of the recipes that I prepare at my house and also at friends' houses.
Plates I liked and learned to prepare, adapting to my taste and needs.
Ma ... attention:
my recipes are in my own way and they don't necessarily respect traditional canons;
also because, on certain classic preparations, each village and each family have their own original version!
On this page, from day to day, a new or revised recipe may appear;
but also the story of a lunch prepared or eaten in company.
Just like some curiosity ...
Enjoy the reading!
Rigatoni with vegetables
(with Cherry Tomato Confit)
Rigatoni all'ortolana: a dish with a thousand interpretations.
This time also seasoned with confit cherry tomatoes!
But imagination, the season and, especially, what's in the fridge will contribute to the composition of the dish.
Pasta and beans yes, but with fresh beans!
Here, I write and I mean fresh beans, out of season, even frozen ones:
They are excellent, almost as much as those just picked.
Besides the season of the beans it is what it is;
and then, as an alternative to the wonderful dried beans we have the frozen ones that also save us a night of soaking!
A complete and nutritious single dish and, in this version, strictly vegetarian.
Pasta and beans: that goodness!
There are some things that would have to be invented if they didn't exist: and pasta and beans unquestionably belong to this category; together, clearly, at the pasta and chickpeas, my other great passion.
A dish like this, regardless of the season, must pass by my table at least once a month; it must pass, let's say, and stop there, to be eaten on the spot!
Apple pie, the usual but…
with another procedure
In pastry making, in general, doses and procedures must be followed to the letter or… you risk a big mess! In particular, while maintaining the same quantity of the same ingredients, there are cakes that completely change appearance and consistency, just by changing the order in which they are added to the dough.
But sometimes you get a great result, like in this variation of my usual Apple pie for every day.
Today, just for a change, I decided to put on the table a couscous, very simple but beautiful colored:
always gives a touch of color to dinner!
