I love cannelloni!Just imagine the hot & bubbling mix of pasta & vegetables & meat or seafood covered in melted crispy cheese coming out of the oven … Remember how to attack the casserole in order to grab the 1st serving & transfer it onto a plate w/o any damage (it’s always easier when the 1st serving has left the casserole!). Maybe it’s because a cannelloni dish is so easy & fast to prepare –…
To disclose the vhm shortcut: v is vegetables, h is herbs & m is meat. We are preparing a classic meat loaf w/ lots of vegetables & lots of fresh Mediterranean herbs: a meat loaf you may enjoy hot, warm or cold as well. What do we need?
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…
A crispy piece of lasagna: it’s comfort food from the best! If you like your lasagna less crispy just take it our of the oven some minutes earlier … The mozzarella will be really chewy, however, all is fine under the mozzarella i. e. inside the lasagna! Although we need quite a lot of ingredients it’s a surprisingly easy & fast pasta dish. Let’s start w/ the vegetables … 1st step: preheat the oven to…
Ever tried a sauerkraut soup? Years ago I got myself involved in a moving adventure. It was some affair like starting in the 4th floor of an apartment house & ending up in the 3rd floor of another apartment house w/ lots of boxes, however, only few standard moving boxes, lots of baskets, suitcases etc. I assume all of you know what I’m talking about! (No lifts!!!) Then … suddenly in the mid of all hauling…
Another day – another approach to one-pot-pasta! Today we are dealing w/ pasta in a thickened mix of fish, tomatoes & onions flavoured w/ thyme. Even now in Northern Spain a one-pot-pasta dish is one of my favorites – because it’s so easy & there are only few ingredients … no issues w/ availability of more extraordinary input into my pan. In my oldest Italian pasta cookbook (Vincenzo Buonassisi’s Nudel & Nudel – have a…
We are in Southern France, living for 4 months in a small house in Carcassonne. As I told you already: the kitchen is small & the kitchen equipment is limited. So cooking is somewhat of a challenge … However, what fits is Shakshuka. … & you may prepare it for breakfast as well as for dinner! (We almost never have lunch here, but of course it’s also a delicious simple lunch!) Some years ago I…
What happened some time ago? My food blog came into life in 2015 – long ago. About 2 years ago or so I realized that there were (too!) many posts w/ lots of photos requiring more & more storage making e. g. updates of the data base somewhat tricky. So I decided to do an internal review resulting in deleting quite a lot of posts & trimming down my blog. (To be honest: when starting…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – adverstising. This photo w/ fresh pasta & my home-made tomato sauce is real & up-to-date w/ this post. It is one of the most trivial photos in the food blogging universe (I think). It is simple: apart from cooking pasta – I always use classic Italian pasta made only from flour (durum wheat) & water – you only need a good tomato sauce & all is fine. A photo presenting…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – Advertising. Some time ago on her blog eat in my kitchen Meike Peters (I wrote about her books) presented a perfect recipe for parmigiana di melanzane. I decided to try it & announced likewise alongside. My better half, not a real aubergine lover, thought about it & asked if we might add some pasta … So I grabbed not only aubergines, tomato sauce & cheese, but also some lasagne sheets…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. It’s summer time. All people think about BBQ dreaming of perfect sausages & steaks – or whatever. Also substantial or less substantials salads are in vogue. Nobody thinks about a roast … in a kitchen … needing long hours … However, I bought a beef package (100% organic) processed from happy cows somewhere in Bavaria weeks ago. All portions went straight in our freezer. Amongst others there were…
