This recipe for Lasagne has been in my family for over 25 years. It is one of our favorites. I do not cook it often, so it causes a ripple of excitement when my family finds out that it is on the menu. Why don't I cook it often? Only because it takes a bit of time to prepare. I cook it when I have the time to spare, and I MAKE the time to spare when I serve it for special occasions. I like keeping this recipe special...and so does my family. Ingredients: ...

Some time ago I want to do unbeaten in the limoncello at all costs, to prove the difference between the limoncello bought and home-made, knowing well what you put to create. The recipe per se is simple, the only thing is that there are many variants and for a person who has never done such a thing is not easy to navigate nose for a good outcome. In my case, after having consulted cookbooks, I treasure the "recipe from the grandmother" in the sense ...

Advantages: GREAT FOR SPAGHETTI

...Hello everyone, I am here to write, as always, the authentic recipes of Italian cuisine. I have already written in other opinions, which are now years who study the history and tradition of all Italian recipes.With so much professionalism. Today let's make a sauce that everyone says is the Lazio region (Central Italy), instead is a sauce of Naples. This sauce has a very nice name. "Sugo alla puttanesca".(Puttanesca=whore).however, is not as vulgar. It is called so because at the end of their "work", had hunger and restaurants had nothing.Then a chef has created their own for this simple sauce.
