Linguine in bell pepper cream sauce

Bell peppers and tomatoes remind us of warm summer days, when they are in season and therefore easily found in the market, fresh and ripe. Their delicate sweet flavour, as well as their bright, vibrant colours, enrich all kind of recipes. That's why Italians love them so much! In this dish we suggest you to use 'perini' tomatoes (also known as plum tomatoes), which are particularly tasty.

Linguine in walnut cream sauce

A very easy and quick sauce, yet incredibly delicious. This walnut cream sauce is very versatile and can be used on any kind of pasta. In this recipe we suggest you use linguine, but you can let your fantasy run wild and choose the pasta variety you like the best, even macaroni. A delicate, exquisite dish that will seduce you and your tablemates!

Linguine with pesto Genovese

Pasta with pesto sauce is a typical dish from the Liguria region (that's why the sauce is called 'Genovese'). The best basil to make this amazing pasta dressing is the Ligurian one, which has smaller leaves, with a much more delicate flavour, and doesn't turn 'black' once blended. But to be honest, the other varieties do the trick too!

Linguine with tuna, leeks and capers

This is a very simple, yet amazingly tasting, pasta recipe! The sweet leek flavour meets the savourier tuna fish and capers on a bed of linguine. To crown it all, a dusting of Parmigiano Reggiano. A mouth-watering experience!

Macaroni with tuna and sautéed vegetables

This is a very tasty recipe, ideal on spring and summer days, when most of the ingredients are in season and therefore tastier! The vegetables, cut 'à julienne', perfectly match the sweetness of the fresh cherry tomatoes and the flavour of the diced onion and garlic. The tuna fish topping adds a further note of freshness and provides proteins, therefore balancing this recipe from a nutritional point of view.

Octopus carpaccio with asparagus

Octopus is a very common mollusc found in all seas, as well as in the Mediterranean too. Rich in proteins and low in cholesterol and fats, it can be prepared in many ways. Carpaccio is a method of 'cooking' fish or meat without having to use a heat source, by just marinating it in salt or lemon. Since the process of making it at home is quite time consuming, a very handy option is to use pre-marinated octopus, like the one Medusa makes.

Penne rigate arrabbiata style

Arrabbiata is a spicy sauce, typical of the Lazio region, and more specifically from Rome. 'Penne all'Arrabbiata' somehow represents the essence of Roman people: passionate, a bit 'stroppy', noisy and tempting all at the same time. The Pasta all'arrabbiata - 'angry' pasta - was so called because when you eat it you risk turning red in the face, just as you do when you get angry, due to its spiciness! Enjoy this delicious, very Italian dish and.. go easy on the chili!!
