Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Chicken arrabbiata (Pollo all'arrabbiata)

    • Gio on February 15, 2013

      Pg. 128 Delicious. Used grappa, Pomi chopped tomatoes, 2 T butter instead of lard, 2 small Serranos. Loved it.

  • 'Little lasagne' (Vincisgrassi)

    • Thermomixit on February 12, 2026

      I was cooking for two people, so halved the quantities. I didn't have any fresh porcini, but I did have some dried, so used 10g and rehydrated in boiled water for 20 minutes and used together with some chestnut mushrooms. I also had some porcini salt I'd made in my Thermomix, so used that to season the béchamel. Very enjoyable, although next time I'd make more béchamel.

  • Baked red onions stuffed with pecorino (Cipolle di Tropea e pecorino)

    • Agaillard on January 16, 2020

      It is a great appetizer recipe! I (somehow) had never boiled onions before, so this was interesting and quite original. I used parma ham i/o pancetta because I had an open pack of it. Will make again :)
