straight tomato cannelloni

Some time ago I made simple cannelloni – simple classic cannelloni w/ meat & tomato sauce & melted cheese on top. I think it isn’t anything fancy with these cannelloni: there are no extraordinary ingredients (e. g. special rare Italian cheese or so), there are no modern add-ons (e. g. any gluten-free pasta or so) … or whatever! So let’s start & share the recipe! I happen to have a wonderful casserole able to house…

lemon flavoured mozzarella

Today there is another approach for a really refreshing mozzarella dip perfect for fresh baguette accompanied by crisp white wine. I found this recipe years ago at Jamie Oliver; during one of his TV shows he simply chopped & mixed everything. You know his casual style of cooking … which I really like!

more sandwich: pan-fried tuna mozzarella melt

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising.   I’m somehow obsessed w/ sandwiches. Nothing changed so far. Maybe it’s a by-product of Corona Times. Working in home office, no canteen, no lunch meetings in cafés or so … all is homebound, all meals are at home. So what to cook each day? A sandwich seems a fine idea. If you use a substantial bread, thick & big slices, adding substantial ingredients … & it’s an easy…
