Paste E Ceci – Pasta with Chickpeas
An example of Cucina Povera, Pasta with Tomatoes and Chickpeas inspired by one of my favorite test kitchens. The brothy pasta is served in bowls with spoons.
Tomatillo and Avocado Sauce
A great creamy puree of tomatillos, avocado, cilantro and jalapenos as a topping for tacos inspired by some of my favorite chefs.
Cacio E Pepe
Though I haven’t been to Rome, this is said to be a classic Roman pasta dish that requires a quality pecorino Romano, a salty, hard sheep’s milk cheese. Cornstarch is added to overcome the tendency some readily available cheese to clump, but for best flavor imported pecorino is suggested.
Creamy Asparagus and Leek Soup
This inspired by a skinnytaste.com recipe, but I adjust for using bit more garlic as listed in the recipe below.
