Gnocchi Carmelita's Way

Gnocchi Carmelita's Way by Carmelita

For soft light fluffy pillows that taste of potato, I have always made potato gnocchi without using egg at all and keeping the amount of flour to a minimum. Blog followers have tried my recipe and loved it, see for yourself and let me know what you think!

Cavatelli e Bietole by Carmelita

A healthy vegetarian pasta from Southern Italy, this diish consists of home made 6 finger Cavatelli dressed simply with wilted Swiss Chard sauteed with olive oil garlic and anchovy. The pasta is fun to make, no machine needed and the dressing you can make with any leafy green vegetable as well as with well softened broccoli.

Split-Pea Soup

Split-Pea Soup by Casey Angelova

Every time I think of split pea soup, it reminds me of my Dad. He rarely cooks, but every now and again, he will bust out the crock pot and make some split-pea soup, sauerkraut or tomato sauce. I even have some vague memories of him stopping, while driving at random dinners in New York because he knew they had good split pea soup.…

Ciceri e Tria - Chick Pea Pasta with a Crunch by Carmelita

Ciceri e Tria is the best loved pasta of Lecce in Apulia, and of all the Salento area. It is a simple Cucina Povera dish, a kind of Pasta e Fagioli made with rosemary and garlic scented chick peas. The Ciceri are chick peas and Tria is the word used in Apulia to refer to pasta that is dried or fried. In this case the pasta, which…

Crushed Greek tomato and olive oil sauce

Crushed Greek tomato and olive oil sauce by Nicholas Huffman

Pomodoro style sauce with black olives, capers and chillies adding subtle character. Rich stewed tomato depth of flavour freshened with the addition of tomato puree or pasatta at the very end of the cooking to refine. Great with pasta, as a base for braising vegetables with the addition of a little stock or as a condiment to meat,…

AUSHAK - AFGHAN RAVIOLI

AUSHAK - AFGHAN RAVIOLI by Linda Tay Esposito

I first tasted Aushak at the Salang Pass restaurant in Fremont, a city where a lot of Afghan immigrants have settled. Aushak is proof that Marco Polo made his way through that part of the world (I mean through the Hindu Kush, not Fremont!) enroute back from China. Aushak is traditionally made with beef - it's the Afghan version of…

Open-Faced Fresh Blueberry Pie

Open-Faced Fresh Blueberry Pie by Rose Levy Beranbaum

In this pie, one cup of berries is cooked to form a syrup. The remaining three cups of berries are heated in this syrup just enough to turn the blueberries a midnight blue with overtones of purple. The filling is then spooned into a prebaked crust. If you've made the crust ahead, this pie comes together in minutes. By dessert time,…
