	Pasta a risotto (Risotto-style Pasta) by Frank Fariello One of the guilty pleasures that I have never, up to now, revealed to a living soul is my penchant for late-night pasta snacks. But not just any pasta, but pastina of the kind usually used for soups, cooked in just enough liquid (usually a mixture of water and milk) so that by the time the liquid has almost evaporated, the pasta if…	8 votes 4 reviews 2 comments 14175 views
	Baccalà alla napoletana by Frank Fariello Baccalà, or salted codfish, marries especially well with tomatoes, and the marriage reaches its apogee of deliciousness in the summer, when tomatoes are at their best. And who does tomatoes better than the people of Campania, home to Italy's best tomatoes? Baccala alla napoletana, Naples-style codfish, is a simple dish of bold…	2 votes 1 review 6 comments 6790 views
	Polenta con salsicce e spuntature by Frank Fariello Rome is not especially known for its love of polenta, perhaps because its winters are relatively mild compared with those up in true polenta country skirting the southern rim of the Alps, but there is one polenta dish you are bound to find if you visit Rome in the cold weather months, polenta with sausages and spareribs simmered in…	11 votes 6 reviews 2 comments 13228 views
	Brasato al vino rosso (Beef Braised in Red Wine) by Frank Fariello There's nothing like a good pot roast on a cold winter's day! Though it may come as a surprise to some, Italians also make pot roast, which is known variously as brasato or stracotto, but with a 'continental' twist: the favorite cooking medium for Italian pot roast is red wine.	2 votes 1 review 6320 views

	Cotechino con lenticchie by Frank Fariello No Italian New Year's celebration would be complete without this dish of a delicious pork sausage served with lentils. New Year's Eve for Italians—like so many other holidays—is marked by a large, festive meal, often an elegant seafood dinner, called the cenone di San Silvestro or cenone di Capodanno, the word 'cenone' being Italian…	2 votes 1 review 2 comments 3104 views

	Elegant Shrimp Scampi Pasta Lightened Up by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox For a romantic dinner, try this superb shrimp, sauteed in a buttery, garlic and lemon wine sauce. It doesn’t get easier to prepare yet it taste so indulgent. Instead of having to prep the raw shrimp, by deveining and such, I like to use cooked shrimp. It’s so much easier and cooks in minutes! The skinny for each generous serving is…	3 votes 3 comments 8013 views
	Chicken Cacciatore by Salad Foodie Cacciatore in cuisine refers to a meal prepared “hunter style” with meat, tomatoes, onions, herbs, wine (and depending on region and availability other vegetables.) Time-saving conveniences like boneless skinless chicken breasts and thighs, presliced mushrooms and onions simplify preparation. While the chicken braises in the tomato…	2 votes 2 comments 11851 views
	Slow Cooker Polenta with Sausage Ragù by Frank Fariello Making polenta the old-fashioned way is a laborious job, as we all know, involving a lot of stirring over a good 45 minutes or more to reach the right, creamy consistency. Italians have developed any number of tricks to make the job a bit easier, as I have outlined in my post on How to Make Polenta. The slow cooker provides yet…	2 votes 2 comments 5101 views
	Risotto alla crema di scampi (Risotto with Shrimp Cream) by Frank Fariello As I have mentioned before, Rome is not really risotto country. But there is at least one risotto dish that appears on almost every menu in town: risotto alla crema di scampi, or risotto with shrimp purée. It is one of my favorite risotti, but I hadn't had it since leaving Rome four years ago. As I pondered what to make for dinner…	3 votes 2 reviews 4437 views
	«Polpetielli» affogati (Baby Octopus Braised in Tomato Sauce) by Frank Fariello Octopus is a popular food all around the Mediterranean basin and yet elsewhere it is often, for some reason, 'controversial'.

	Angelina's Sunday Sauce (Il ragù della domenica) by Frank Fariello The constant fixture of Sunday dinners at nonna Angelina's house was il ragù della domenica or 'Sunday sauce'—also known as 'Sunday gravy'—the crowning glory of Italian American cooking. If it was not dressing the pasta, it was slathered in between the layers of the lasagne, with more served in a gravy boat for those who wanted to…	3 votes 1 review 2955 views
	Warm Octopus w. Potato and Parsley by Carmelita This is one of my favourite things year round, served lukewarm in winter or at room temperature in summer. Octopus meat is beautifully tender when properly cooked. It has a very mild sweet-savoury flavour which some compare to chicken and some to squid though neither comparison really stands up in my view. Perhaps crab or scallop…	1 vote 6769 views
