    Eggplant Parmesan (Parmigiana di melanzane): The authentic Italian recipe step by step

    4 August 2025 / No Comments

    There are dishes that taste like a family Sunday and eggplant parmesan (in Italian “Parmigiana di melanzane”) is, for me, the king.

    Melon salad with Iberian ham and mozzarella

    27 July 2025 / No Comments

    There are flavors that represent summer in a single bite. My melon and Iberian ham salad is a delicious bridge between Spain and Italy: we swap the white melon typical of Spanish tables for French Cantaloupe melon, with its orange pulp and intense aroma, and I pair it with buffalo mozzarella, arugula, and basil to give it that unmistakable Italian…

    Pasta alla Checca: the Italian pasta salad recipe ready in 10 minutes

    23 July 2025 / No Comments

    When the thermometer climbs, pasta alla checca (pronounced “keka”) becomes the star of Roman tables: a cold Italian pasta that mixes juicy cherry tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fresh basil in a raw sauce ready in ten minutes. Unlike other pasta salads, here the pasta is added to the tomato while still warm so that the cheese melts just slightly, just…

    Zucchini and shrimp pasta with saffron

    1 July 2025 / No Comments

    The zucchini and shrimp pasta with saffron enhances every ingredient: the zucchini provides its sweetness and juicy texture, the shrimp offer a concentrated marine base by infusing their heads and shells into a light bisque, the saffron dyes the dish an intense gold and perfumes it with its characteristic aroma, and the fresh marjoram adds an herbal touch that balances…

    24 June 2025 / No Comments

    The white fish acqua pazza, or crazy water fish, is a light and quick Neapolitan recipe in which sea bass, sea bream, or another lean fillet is gently poached in a lively broth of dry white wine, cherry tomatoes, and extra virgin olive oil. Born in the Gulf of Naples, where fishermen cooked their catch with tomatoes and seawater—cheaper than…
