Spaghetti alla Puttanesca

Don’t judge the book by its cover or the dish by its name – spaghetti alla puttanesca a.k.a. slut’s spaghetti is not a classic of the Italian cuisine for nothing.

Let me google it for you.

Caponata

Sicilians know their foods for sure. Caponata is one of their signature dishes, consisting of cooked aubergine, celery and other vegetables of your choice. With a finishing touch of some capers and sweetened vinegar. I’ve given it two tries thus far, the first one being ok and the second delizioso.

Let me show you the way.

Rigatoni con salsicce e peperone verde

 

The complicated world that we live in needs dishes like this. Salsicce, green pepper, rosemary. Rigatoni, olive oil, parmesan. Made our dinner table drool for more.

Let me google that (or something similar) for you.

Pasta carbonara

 

If the ingredients in the fridge for a good meal are running low, you can usually still count on this classic. At least I can with my fridge’s content. And this classic never fails me.

Let me google that for you.

Asparagus Lasagna

 

Lasagna can be a quick & rather light dish, too, if made “open” and boiled. This was a newsflash to me. Didn’t complain, thou.

This one I copied from Helsingin Sanomat, but I’ll gladly google you bunch of other recipes.

Penne Con Salsicce

The key to success here, as it is always with the simplistic pasta dishes, is of course the ingredients. Grab some grade A salsiccia to match your well chosen penne, parmesan & olive oil. Buon appetito!

Let me google that for you.

Sicilian Chocolate Lasagna

Thx Google. Thanks for being the gastronomic Bible once again and guiding me to the light that is Sicilian chocolate lasagna. No, I don’t really care whether it’s originally an age-old sicilian recipe passed on from generation to generation (as many stories have it) or if it’s just something that the american restaurant chain Olive Garden came up with and named to sound more authentic and ecstatic (as other stories have it). Either way it’s sinfully delicious – from the first thought to the last forkful.

Let me google the ABCs of this Sicilian/Olive Gardenian treat for you.

Penne con tonno e mozzarella

A classic of Napoli region in Italy, this simple yet delicious dish made my Sunday and lifted my hung over spirit.

Let me google that recipe for you.
