Maltese Stuffed Marrows by louise

Very common in the Maltese household, these stuffed marrows are just as good cold. Other recipes use rikotta for the filling but I prefer the traditional way.

Spaghetti alla carbonara

Spaghetti alla carbonara by Frank Fariello

Although my grandmother Angelina never made it--as far as I can recall--as a long-time resident of Rome I have a great fondness for la carbonara, one of the iconic dishes of Roman cooking.
