Is it possible to make ice cream without a maker? Definitely.
Most custard based ice creams can be made without an ice cream maker if you incorporate whipped cream (fresh heavy cream, whipped… not artificial whipped cream) into the recipe. If you make this recipe the day you […]
Right now, most of the tomatoes at the market are almost inedible. But, this dish is a good way to make the most out of a bad batch of tomatoes. This soup is extremely hearty and makes a perfect meal with a slice or two of rustic bread that you’ve […]
Strozzapreti & Maltagliati
Both of these pasta “shapes” take more than one form. Maltagliati refers to any misshapen or badly cut pasta form. Most frequently maltagliati is made by cutting hand rolled pasta into a variety of shapes. Wide strips, diamond shapes, triangular shapes or wedge shapes are common. But, […]
In my family, there are at least a dozen variations of this dish. It’s a dish that has lived on my family’s Christmas Eve (Feast of the Seven Fishes) table for longer than I’ve been on this planet. This is a version I make if I don’t have hours to […]
