Risotto with wild mushrooms and goat's cheese

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.

Roastbeef with balsamic vinegar

Roast beef with Balsamic Vinegar

Traditional and original both at the same time, what makes this roast beef recipe stand out is its topping, made of a balsamic vinegar reduction and Parmigiano Reggiano slivers. This delicate, tender meat can be served hot or at room temperature and its leftovers can be enjoyed the next day too. Ideal as a main course, it also makes a good choice for a picnic or a buffet.

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

Salmon carpaccio with leek and chives

Salmon carpaccio with leek and chives

Salmon is one of the richest and most nutritious fish, with its high content of omega 3, proteins, amino acids and healthy fats. In summer, when it's too hot to bake it or grill it, there's another way of enjoying it, without needing to eat it raw: Carpaccio! If you combine it with cream, leek, chives and lemon zest, as we suggest in this recipe, a mouth-watering delicacy is created! 

 
sausage and three grains soup

Sausage and 3 grain soup

This rich soup is the ideal dish for cold autumn and winter days, when all you crave is something hot and steaming to warm you up from the inside. This recipe can be modified according to your own personal tastes, you can replace the vegetables you're not so fond of with some of your favourites or even use beans, chickpeas or lentils instead of (or on top of) the sausage. Have fun creating your own version!

Sauteed spaghetti with tuna and cherry tomatoes

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

Depending on where they are made, the recipe can vary a bit, the filling may be different, as may be cooking method also. Traditionally baked around Christmas time in southern regions like Puglia, Calabria, Campania, etc.. they are mostly enjoyed deep-fried (and called Ravioli) at Carnival time in Lombardy, Veneto and other northern areas.

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.

Pizzaiola sauce is a famous pasta dressing, the everyday answer to the 'Sunday lunch Bolognese sauce'.
