Recipes by Frank Fariello

	Pennette with Butternut Squash Purée and Sorrento Walnuts by Frank Fariello This easy and delicious recipe by Neapolitan chef Inghemarck Guida highlights the unique taste of Sorrento walnuts. Of course, if you can't get Sorrento walnuts, this dish will work with 'regular' walnuts--just make sure they are still fresh and flavorful. The original recipe calls for 'zucca' which is Italian for pumpkin. But…	7 votes 1 review 3852 views
	Zeppole by Frank Fariello Zeppole are so easy to make—after all, they are basically just fried pizza dough balls—it is almost embarrassing to post about it, but since it was one of my favorite snack foods that Angelina made, it deserves pride of place on this blog. And, in any event, who doesn't like fried dough?	4 votes 2 reviews 6 comments 13879 views
	Panzanella (Tuscan Bread Salad) by Frank Fariello Panzanella, a Tuscan bread salad, is a great way to use old bread and avoid cooking in hot weather at the same time. And it is so simple to make, too.	4 votes 1 comment 3719 views
	Insalata di riso (Summer Rice Salad) by Frank Fariello Mid-August, when the temperatures climb to tropical heights, is a time when the enthusiasm of even the most avid cook can begin to wane. Italians often turn to easily prepared dishes that need minimal or no actually cooking. Salads are an obvious choice, and rice salads are a favorite. Not only are they delicious, but they are easy to…	3 votes 3 comments 4381 views
	Tonnarelli cacio e pepe by Frank Fariello Cacio e pepe, literally 'cheese and pepper', is a very typical Roman dish, usually made with spaghetti, bucatini or—for the ne plus ultra version of this dish—tonnarelli, a kind of square spaghetti made with egg pasta popular in Lazio and Abruzzo, as well parts of Molise, Puglia and Le Marche.	3 votes 1 review 1 comment 6649 views
	Caffè Shakerato by Frank Fariello I had my first caffè shakerato on the beach at Rimini way back sometime in the mid-90s. The black richness of espresso served cold and frothy was a relevation, and I was instantly hooked. It is by far my favorite way to drink iced coffee.	3 votes 1 review 5096 views
	Guacamole by Frank Fariello I spend a lot of time on my blog in wistful remembrances of the delicious fruits and vegetables that I used to enjoy in Italy and, conversely, moaning about the lack of flavor of much of the produce you are likely to find here in the US. But there are times when the New World outdoes the Old. One example is the avocado which remains…	1 vote 2724 views
	Straccetti di manzo con la rughetta by Frank Fariello One of the iconic dishes of Roman cookery, stracetti con la rughetta, or 'little beef rags' with arugula, is almost one of the simplest of all to prepare.	2 votes 1 review 3823 views
	Frittata ai carciofi (Artichoke Frittata) by Frank Fariello The frittata is one of those categories of dishes, like risotto, where the main ingredient, in this case egg, can act as a foil to an almost infinite variety of flavors, be it meat, fish or vegetable. So by learning a single technique, you open up a whole new culinary galaxy. One of my favorite frittate, especially this time of year,…	5 votes 3 reviews 2 comments 6022 views
	Funghi trifolati ("Truffled" mushrooms) by Frank Fariello This is one of the easiest and most versatile vegetable dishes in the Italian repertoire: funghi trifolati, or 'truffled' mushooms, so called because the thinly sliced and sautéed mushrooms are said to resemble that other, more highly prized tuber. I use two methods to make funghi trifolati, and both are equally easy:	3 votes 2 reviews 6438 views
