Some of the recipes I prepare at my home and also at friends' homes.
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!
Pasta alla Norma, one soft revisiting
Among the great specialties of Sicilian cuisine, in this case, more properly, from Catania, there is this colorful and fragrant dish of pasta, vegetables and dairy products.
A dish dedicated to another pride of the city of Catania:
Bellini and his Norma.
When there are plenty of guests at home or if you take part in a party where everyone brings something, this is an ideal preparation:
simple, economic and, especially, adaptable to all needs; for example at different vegetarian versions.
Here I present what I propose more often and for many years:
with the sausage, my favorite!
Here is a dish that needs no introduction: stewed octopus, in all its variations, is truly a culinary classic.
In the simplicity of its ingredients it is a dish that satisfies everyone;
whether served as an appetizer, as a main course or as a condiment for a pasta dish.
... and you can serve it hot or cold depending on when and how you serve it.
Mezzepenne zucchini and shrimp
This is a dish that is easy to prepare and quickly;
and, if you have all the ingredients at home, it is also a dish at the last moment.
For example, if someone happens suddenly or if a chat was prolonged until dinner!
There are very simple dishes but they have their own magic, like this:
wherever I am, when I taste these courgettes and close my eyes, I think I find myself on the shores of the Mediterranean, surrounded by the scents and aromas of the sea and the vegetation of the south.
And then ... I open my eyes and to the south I still see mountains that reach four thousand meters!
