This is the most precious recipe on blog along with piadina flatbread.
Mascarpone ( the name of the dessert is the same of the cheese it’s made from, mascarpone cheese) is the most festive sweet treat, no matter if it’s Christmas or mid-August holiday, no one from Romagna, in his full digestive capacity, would choose a sherbet if he can choose a mascarpone.
The first thing I have to do, posting this recipe, is a disclaimer: this recipe comes from the magazine Jamie, Italian issue, it’s good and the soup turns out great BUT for me and all the Italians out there this is and always will be a tomato sauce to season a rich plate of pasta and not something you eat with a spoon.
I’m a mum to a 6 y.o. boy who drinks tomato sauce from the can, you must admit eating it with a spoon is an upgrade then I’ve tried this soup.
There are few things I hate more than long summer week ends at home, I count hours till monday and I keep myself busy with houseworks I can’t stand like refrigerator cleaning and defrosting, pantry cleaning and organizing.
I had the great idea to trim some of the chili plants I have on my balcony, I cut the dry hot lemon chilis from the plant, I deseeded them to keep seeds then, of course, I washed my hands carefully: after a day and half if I touch my tongue with a finger I can still taste a great spiciness.
As you may know if you follow me steadily I love mixing different cooking cultures, using different spices not common in Italian cooking.
This way to interpret food comes from my university years in Rimini: I used to live with a lot of people from different places from guys from South of Italy to frieds from England, Greece and even a boy half Venezuelan half from Sicily.
Meal time was a funny mix of dolmades, tagliatelle and Marmite.
It’s friday at last, the more we are near to holidays the slower the time runs.
Just because I feel masochist I planned to turn on the barbecue on sunday to celebrate the great Fiorentina steak I bought at La Macelleria Bottega from my trusted butcher Stefano.
I’m thinking how to balance the heat of bbq buying a big box of artisan ice cream instead of baking something but I’m not sure, every dish not made is a post not made on the blog and I know exactly what I would like to make and post. 😉
