Pasta alla gricia: The Mother of Roman Pastas

Frank26 August 2016Lazio, pasta, primi piatti29 Comments

Pasta alla gricia

What was Italian cuisine like before the tomato arrived from America? Pasta alla gricia gives us some idea. Widely considered the ancestor of the more famous bucatini all’amatriciana, it is a simple dish that, according to at least one  legend, originated among shepherds in the mountains around the town of … Read More

Olive ascolane (Ascoli Style Stuffed Olives)

Frank27 May 2016antipasti, Marche, snack43 Comments

Olive asolane

Olive ascolane—with their soft and savory meat stuffing surrounded by a crisp, breaded crust—are a speciality of Ascoli Piceno in the region of Le Marche, but they have become a staple on the tables of pizzerias in Rome, where I lived for so many years, and elsewhere in Italy. They are perfect for … Read More

Salsicce all’uva (Sausages and Grapes)

Frank23 October 2015Fall, secondi piatti, Toscana, Umbria44 Comments

Sausages and Grapes

The use of fruits in savory dishes was once common place in Italian cooking, as it was in European cooking generally.  Giuliano Bugialli, for example, tells us that the original duck à l’orange was a Tuscan dish. But with some notable exceptions like mostarda for boiled meats and strawberry risotto, it’s become a … Read More

Grigliata mista di carne (Mixed Grilled Meats)

Frank2 July 2015secondi piatti, summer36 Comments

Grigliata mista

If you want to make a big impression at your next cookout, try a grigliata mista di carne, a platter of mixed grilled meats including fresh and cured cuts of beef, veal, pork, lamb and chicken or other poultry. Italians love to grill just like other folks, but the Italian approach to grilling is … Read More

Cinghiale in agrodolce (Sweet and Sour Wild Boar)

Frank19 December 2014Fall, Lazio, secondi piatti, Winter39 Comments

Sweet and Sour Wild Boar

Genuine Italian cookery generally has straight-forward taste profiles. As I’ve said before, one of the best ways to tell if a recipe is really Italian is to count the ingredient list: you should have your doubts about any recipe with over, say, seven ingredients; more than ten, and you should turn the page. Well, here’s … Read More

Il Gran Bollito Misto (Mixed Boiled Meat)

Frank19 January 2014Emilia-Romagna, Piemonte, secondi piatti, Winter21 Comments

Mixed Boiled Meat

We usually think of boiled meat as a by-product of making broth, a humble if comforting dish for parsimonious souls. But in northern Italy, particularly in the Piemonte and Emilia-Romagna, they’ve transformed the dish into a regal spread. Traditionally, a true Gran Bollito Misto includes seven different cuts (tagli) of beef … Read More

Polpettone in umido con funghi (Meatloaf in Tomato and Mushroom Sauce)

Frank17 November 2013Fall, secondi piatti, Winter22 Comments

Meatloaf in Tomato and Mushroom Sauce

As the temperatures dip, I find myself seeking out comfort foods. And what says ‘comfort’ more than a good meatloaf? And, yes, Italians make meatloaf too. They call it a  polpettone or big meatball. Makes sense if you think about, doesn’t it? We’ve already seen Angelina’s southern Italian style meatloaf, stuffed … Read More

Minestra maritata (The Original Italian “Wedding Soup”)

Frank3 February 2013Campania, piatti unici25 Comments

The Original Italian Wedding Soup

“Wedding soup” is a popular Italian-American dish made with escarole and tiny meatballs simmered in chicken broth and adorned with small pasta, typically of the tiny acini di pepe (or “peppercorn”) type. It is so popular, in fact, that it has been marketed as a canned soup by Progresso under the … Read More
