SPAGHETTI ALLA PIRATA !!!

Hi there, this morning while I was having a stroll along this little “carruggio” in Zoagli with my friend Barbara,       

                 
I saw this beautiful plate hung on the wall, with this recipe written on it ! 


SPAGHETTI ALLA PIRATA (for 6 people) : In a pan heat some olive oil with a clove of garlic, parsley and basil chopped. Then add 3 cubed ripe tomatoes and 5 fillets of anchovies cut into pieces and some oregano. Cook for 5 minutes,  then raise the heat and pour 1 glass of white wine. Let it evaporate. Meanwhile boil 600 grams of spaghetti AL DENTE. Put them into the pan and sauté for a little while. Drizzle some grated parmisan … that s’all ENJOY IT!!!

GETTING READY FOR EASTER

Easter count down is starting and according to our ancient custom we are all busy tidying up our houses waiting for them to be blessed by the priest. Il "mangiare magro", which means following a strict diet based on not eating meat every friday, is taking place. We were used to picking specific herbs (called PREBUGGIUN) which were eaten and used to make RAVIOLI ! Some initiative has been organised in order to rimind people of these, in my opinion, precious habits. It has rained a lot this winter so there are not many growing, that ' s why I 'd better be going otherwise no ravioli on my table !!!! See you soon...
