Notes about Recipes in this book

• Orange salad (Insalata di arance)

  • SpatulaCity on October 12, 2023

    Loved the roasted olives! Would have preferred the the oranges to be segmented instead of sliced, because the slices are just too large.

• Pasta wheels with sausage sauce (Route al sugo di salsiccia)

  • SpatulaCity on October 11, 2023

    A nice change up from bolognese! Appreciate how easy this recipe is to make, even if it takes a while to reduce to a level of thickness. Couldn’t find pasta wheels so used rigatoni. Used 14oz tomato sauce. Topped with grated pecorino. A nice change from bolognese

• Pasta with broccoli and anchovies (Pasta con broccoli e alici)

  • SpatulaCity on October 13, 2023

    Very simple and straightforward pasta dish. I wanted to keep some firmness in my broccoli, so opted not to do the five minute par boil, and instead cooked the florets in the garlic oil for 15 min. The use of anchovy is an excellent way to add a backbone of deep flavor. Didn’t have 1/2 a chili, so added a pinch of flakes red pepper, which added a perfect kick. Served with grated Parmesan and a bit of lemon zest. Overall it’s a little too simple for me… It’s a fine dish to make from pantry and common ingredients, but doesn’t transport me to Sicily.
