  • This is a flashback to my trip last fall to the Amalfi coast, Matera and Puglia with my two buddies. We went to Amalfi to do a sunset photo op. This is just one of the pictures I captured – each one more beautiful than the next. But that’s all due to the breathtaking beauty of Amalfi! Plus a picture of us in Matera. #pugliagram #puglialovers #pugliaview #materaitaly #amalfi #amalficoastitaly #amalfitancoast #amalfigram #amalficoastitaly #italytravels #flavorofitaly #travelphotography #travelbloggers
  • Broccoli and Mussel Curry is a great way for me to occasionally switch out from my classic Italian style of cooking. I prefer a curry that has a hint of Thai flavors so I like to make mine with coconut milk. I had some fresh mussels and broccoli on hand and decided they would go together beautifully in a curry. It worked great and was a wonderful flavor pairing so this will now be one of my standard curry dishes. Roman broccoli and Sicilian broccoli both work well in this recipe.

  • There are so many kinds of prosciutto and so many ways to purchase it from classic machine sliced prosciutto, to hand-cut. For hand-cut prosciutto you need to use a special prosciutto knife just like you see in the video. I don’t know what makes it taste better when it’s hand-cut, but the fact is it does just seem to be better. And there’s something about slicing it by hand rather than with a machine that appeals to my old-fashioned sensibilities. I use my prosciutto knife for many things other than slicing prosciutto. It’s a very long super thin and flexible blade that lends itself to all kinds of culinary tasks. I use it when I hand cut my homemade ravioli and other pastas. Do you have a Prosciutto knife, and if you do what do you use it for? #prosciutto #prosciuttocrudo #prosciuttocotto #prosciuttoknife #knives #knifeskills #knifeskills101 #slicedprosciutto #prosciuttoparma #knivesforsale #knivesporn #kitchenknives #kitchenknivesworld #kitchenknife #kitchenknifeset #italianknives #italianfood #italianfoodporn🇮🇹 #italiancuisine #italiancooking #italianfoodbloggers🍷🍕🇮🇹
  • SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA If I had to say what my favorite pasta dish is I think this would be it. First off I’m crazy about spaghetti and I’m crazy about eggs, and who doesn’t like guanciale? Today is the first chilly and miserable rainy day we’ve had in over a month and it’s a perfect day for a comfy pasta dish like this one. We were late getting up and doing our Saturday food shopping and so got home at lunchtime, but this is the kind of pasta dish you can really whip up in 10 minutes. Yes, I’m really not exaggerating, 10 minutes. While the pasta cooks you sizzle up some pork jowl - guanciale- and set it aside. In a bowl whisk up an egg and a couple of egg yolks along with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and freshly grated black pepper. Then when the pasta is al dente scoop it into the pan with the guanciale and toss it all together. And then stir in the creamy egg mixture, and serve. #guanciale #porkporn #porkjowl #spaghetti #spaghetti🍝 #spaghetti sauce #pastas #pastacarbonara #pastamania #pastalovers #pastaporn #italianfoodlover #italianfoodlovers #italianfoodies #italianfoodblog #pastaitaliana #parmesancheese #parmesano #flavorofitaly #pastaromana #romanfood #romanfoodporn
  • BARI, PUGLIA This Palazzo is in the historic center of Bari in Puglia, and the second photograph is homemade orecchiette, also right on the streets of the historic center of Bari in Puglia. If you join me on my fabulous weeklong trip to Puglia this coming May Bari is just one of the many gorgeous places you‘ll visit, plus you will learn how to make this pasta from experienced local ladies. Go to the link in my bio for information on this upcoming trip and send along an email with any questions you might have! #Bari #pugliagram #puglialovers #pugliaview #pugliamia #pugliamiabella #pugliastyle #pugliafoodporn #flavorofitaly #puglia_city #pugliatop #pugliadavedere #pugliadascoprire #orecchiettepugliesi #orecchiettepasta #italiantrips #italiantraveller #italiantravelblogger #italiantravelers #italiantravellers #flavorofitaly #italiantravels #bari #baritrip
  • Broccoletti -broccoli rabe - is probably my favorite winter green. Ever-so-slightly bitter and teeming with flavor it’s great on its own sautéed with olive oil, garlic and peperoncino. It’s divine served with beans, or sautéed with sausage and served with rigatoni. And by-the-by it’s full of nutrition. Have you ever tried gnocchi made with broccoli rabe and ricotta cheese? Positively divine. The recipe details are in today’s story and the recipe link is in my bio.

  • I love making Beetroot Fettuccine with Butter and Sage for a number of reasons. First off, I love making homemade pasta. It’s relaxing and there’s nothing quite like the consistency of freshly made pasta. One of my favorite things is beautifully colored pasta as it looks so great with different kinds of sauces. It’s also a wonderful way to use different colored vegetables, herbs and other ingredients: spinach, broccoli rabe, stinging nettle, tomatoes, squid ink. Beetroot is a wonderful choice because it gives a delightful fuchsia color to your pasta. Once it’s cooked the vibrancy of the color changes to a lovely bright pink.
