Summerish onion & potato soup with hazelnuts

Onion soup is a traditional dish in many countries, thanks to the cheapness and broad availability of its main ingredient. The most famous recipe is the French one, 'soupe à l'oignon'. Here we suggest an Italian version of this dish: no butter and gruyère cheese, instead olive oil and potatoes, humble ingredients that, combined together, create wonders! The result is a delicious creamy soup, easy to make and quite balanced from a nutritional point of view.

Tagliatelle alla Checca is a typical dish from the Lazio region, but over time it has become popular all over the country. Obviously, every family makes it its own way, by slightly modifying the recipe, adding some ingredients (e.g. mozzarella or caciotta romana) and/or leaving out others. Even though it is considered a spring dish, often served cold, it can be eaten at any time of the year and can be served hot or simply warm.

A typical cold-season vegetable, the best time of the year to prepare artichokes is definitely from November to May. With this recipe we want to give you one more idea on how to enjoy them! This dish will make a quick, really fanciful, starter: the Tagliatelle pasta is dressed with a creamy cheese sauce and with the sautéed, savoury artichokes and bacon. In case you want to make this recipe suitable for vegetarians, just replace the diced bacon with sliced (or minced), roasted almonds! Enjoy hot or lukewarm.

The Panzanella is a typical dish from central Italy, very famous in Tuscany, Marche and Lazio. The original recipe calls for stale bread, red onion, basil, olive oil, vinegar and salt, but over time some more ingredients, such as fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, have made it onto the list. We suggest to couple it with some fresh homemade gazpacho for an extra taste!
