A couple’s diary in a bustling kitchen

Hi, I am Nicoletta and I am Italian, from the beautiful city of Rome, adopted Canadian thanks to…

Another bundle of asparagus, another dish.
We made 'polpette di asparagi', asparagus "meatballs" and instead of frying them, we baked them in the oven. They are so tasty and not in the least dry.💯😍
📌
That's how we did: we boiled the asparagus with 1 potato until fork-tender. Removed the asparagus tips and set aside. Pureed the asparagus and potato, put into a bowl, added back the tips, 1 egg, grated Parmigiano, chunks of Gruyère, milk-soaked bread, salt, and pepper. Shaped the "meatballs" in our hands, passed them in breadcrumbs, laid onto a baking dish brushed with oil, drizzled olive oil on top, and baked in a preheated oven (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, until beautifully golden.
Crisp on the surface, soft inside. So incredibly good!
They paired well with chinotto, a classic Italian soda, with a bitter taste (maybe similar to root beer?). 🤓P.s.' ch' is read 'k' in Italian 😉

I can't remember the last time I had a burger, but I have been craving one.
.
So when a craving hits what do you do? That's right satisfy it, and that is what I did, no holds barred!😁😋
.
A beautiful 1/4 pound beef patty season well and seared in a cast iron pan with another cast iron pan on top. Talk about delicious pressure!.🍔
.
Then dressed it up with a toasted sesame seed bun, mayo, mustard, sriracha, marinated cherry tomatoes, onions, crisp lettuce, shredded Gouda and on the side pickled beans!😋😛
.
Oh yeah can't have a burger without a tall glass of thick chocolate milk!
.
Now thats the way to satisfy a craving!👍❤😍😷😋🤪😝 Don't you think?

If you’re anything like me, you believe that fresh peas are one of the joys of Spring. 😍
I not only like to eat them, but I also like to shell them. I open the pod and with my thumb make the peas fall into a bowl, like beads from a broken necklace. I don’t know if it’s the sound or the manual activity that I find so relaxing and not in the least boring. .
When we are not making pea barley risotto, rice and peas is our next favorite option. Here, together with the peas, we have leeks and carrots, a delightful combination.
Unlike risotto, you cook the vegetables and the rice separately, then you let them mingle in a wonderful embrace. Simple, delicious flavors, in a great seasonal recipe that will win your heart.

I went a little off the beaten path yesterday and

I went a little off the beaten path yesterday and strayed away from the typical Italian cakes.
I wanted to give my family a taste of what I make when I'm in Canada and decided for a banana🍌 bread loaf.
.
As it was baking the aroma alone lured them to the kitchen and I had to hold them off till the cake cooled.
I have to say it was well received and thoroughly enjoyed😋. Mission accomplished😎.
P.s. if you can impress an Italian mom and dad with food you are well on your way to bigger and better things😃.
It is a spelt flour banana bread wirh walnuts, honey and olive oil, to which I added dark chocolate chunks on top.

Hey everyone, guess what day it is? Yes I know it's Saturday, however more specific it's PIZZA NIGHT🍕🍕❤😋
.
I wanted something different and I had some ground lamb. So I said, self........ could I use this lamb on a pizza? Self responded well of course!😁😅
.
Well I didn't waste a minute and went to work to create an amazing earthy, rich, cheesy, packed with flavor, robust, crispy out of this world, shut the front door good Lamb and Mushroom Pizza with Fresh Bocconcini.
To kick it up a few more notches, a light drizzle of white truffle oil!
.
I am loving this pizza, hits lots of great notes flavor wise, and equally in texture!
.
Happy Pizza Night everyone!😋😍❤😁

Two big Fuji apples🍎🍎 and one Bartlett pear🍐 enrich this simple, rustic cake made with olive oil.
There is more fruit than batter and I like to bake it in a wide springform pan so it stays low and super moist.💯
I also like to sprinkle some cane sugar on top and it gives such a lovely sugary topping.😋
.
Torta di mele, crostata, and yogurt cake, they go on rotation here😄. We never get bored of them, 😉
This cake is wholesome, not too sweet, flavored with lemon juice/zest and cinnamon and filled with fruit. What's not to love?😍

There are great benefits I feel from working with Nicoletta on our blog. 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️
.
We inspire each other to shed light on our culture, and I get to discover some pretty fantastic recipes that I had no idea about!👍❤🙏
.
Such was the case with this Stuffed Zucchini in Tomato Sauce (Zucchine Ripiene alla Romana).
.🥒
Nicoletta told me about them and when I hear anything stuffing, I am all ears and ready to go.
.
Imagine a wonderfully cooked Zucchini stuffed with lamb mixed with egg, breadcrumbs, parmigiano, milk soaked day old rustic bread, plus a plethora of spices to give the tastebuds something to talk about! .
Just when you thought oh I am so hungry now I say oh yeah it is baked in a rich flavorful tomato sauce! How's that for yum factor?

We recently received a lovely comment on these Spelt flour Jam Tartlets, Crostatine Morbide con Farina di Farro e Marmellata, from a reader that made them with her son.😍 They not only loved the little tarts but also enjoyed the process of making them very much.
It made us so happy! We are grateful for all the feedbacks and love we receive.🙏💕 .
These crostatine are refined sugar-free (I used honey), dairy-free, and there's orange zest in the dough.
The one in the picture is made with my dad's quince jam.
Hope you try them, too, both the appearance and flavor will win your heart❤.
Have a great day, you all!
