Risotto 'alla Parmigiana' (version 2)

Risotto 'alla Parmigiana' (2)

Risotto 'alla Parmigiana' is probably the easiest and best loved risotto recipe, the father of all other risottos and the basis for most of them. There are many ways of making it: while the special ingredient here is obviously Parmigiano Reggiano, the famous hard cheese that gives creaminess, aroma and taste to the risotto, some other items can play an important role too. Try out this special version with egg yolks, for instance!

Borage (Borago officinalis) is a wild green that is quite widely used in Italian kitchens. It can be easily recognised (and collected!) thanks to its beautiful star shaped blue flowers and its ovate, 'hairy' leaves. The following recipe, an outstanding risotto with borage and almonds, will surprise you thanks to its delicate, yet unmistakable, taste.

If you are looking for a delicate, creamy and incredibly delicious dish, you've just found the right recipe!

Risotto is a special dish, no matter what its ingredients. There are two main reasons: first, its delicious, rich taste and second: it's a dish that requires care, love and patience to prepare. Here’s one of our favourite risotto recipes (traditionally eaten in autumn but delicious all year around), featuring wild mushrooms, goat’s cheese and truffle.

Romagna Royal

Romagna Royal

This is the perfect party cocktail: colourful, delicate and.. plentiful! The drink just looks gorgeous with all those fruit pieces, whose sweetness partly masks the taste of the alcohol in it. The Vecchia Romagna flavour is slightly softened by the lighter Prosecco, providing for a delicate, pleasant flavour in your mouth.

Saffron and mushroom Risotto

Saffron and mushroom Risotto

Saffron and mushrooms risotto is a savoury, typical autumn starter. In fact, the best results can be obtained by using freshly harvested Porcino mushrooms, which can release their characteristic aroma, lending the dish its unmistakable flavour. Adding saffron further enhances the taste of this simple, yet elegant recipe. Feel free to serve it on any occasion, be it an informal get-together with friends or a special day.

Salad with tuna, peppers, mango and almonds

This whole, very colourful dish evokes memories of Mediterranean summers and sunny days spent at the beach.

The perfect dish for a tasty, yet simple, lunch or dinner, great served with some homemade bread. 

 
Salted codfish balls

Salted codfish balls

'Baccalà' is the Italian name for dried and salted codfish, an essential ingredient in many culinary traditions. Worldwide, Portugal ranks number one in its consumption, but Italy follows closely after with its many traditional recipes: 'baccalà alla lucana', 'alla cosentina', 'alla siciliana', etc.. Because of the preservation process, this fish needs many hours of soaking to get rid of the salt and to rehydrate the flesh. Here we suggest a simple, delicious recipe, something children will love and an ideal buffet component too!

This brightly-coloured spaghetti recipe is ideal on spring and summer days, when the cherry tomatoes are in season and therefore tastier.

Tuna with Salsa Verde

Sicilian Style Tuna with Salsa Verde

In this recipe, the sea and the mountains meet to bring forth new tastes: in fact, our suggested tuna steak dish is dressed with a tipical 'mountain sauce', salsa verde. Its origins are to be found in the north of Italy, and in particular in Piedmont, where it is called 'bagnet vert'. Traditionally served with boiled meat, this sauce has become popular and it now compliments many other dishes such as appetizers, vegetables or, like in this recipe, fish. 

 
Spaghetti 'alla Napoletana'

Spaghetti 'alla Napoletana'

Pasta 'alla Napoletana' (be it Spaghetti, Linguine, or any other pasta variety you like) is an incredibly flavourful, quick and easy dish of Italian culinary tradition. All you need are a few simple ingredients - such as pasta (of course), fresh, ripe tomatoes, onion, extra virgin olive oil, basil, pepper and, if you like, Parmesan cheese - and a bit of patience to peel the pomodori.. and the magic is created!
