Tomato Bruschetta

Tomato bruschetta is a very renowned appetizer in the Lazio tradition. Also widespread in many other regions of central and southern Italy (wherever there is fresh tomato), this simple slice of bread with chopped ripe tomato on top has won the hearts of all Italians, anticipating any meal, even a pizza . Simple, tasty, and ready in just a few minutes, it can be a perfect snack or a perfect appetizer. The name bruschetta derives from the verb bruscare which means to toast, hence bruschetta i.e. toasted. There are many versions, some with celery, others with onion, then flavored with oregano or basil. In short, there is something for all tastes

Eggplant Parmesan

Eggplant parmigiana is a great classic of Neapolitan cuisine. There are different versions each for each region or area of Southern Italy, but the Neapolitan version is perhaps the most famous. In this version, in addition to the aubergine, the cheese to match also plays important roles, in this case a smoked provola or fior di latte (not buffalo mozzarella) and the ever-present basil. In this recipe I made small single portions, but tradition requires them to be placed inside a large pan and divided into rectangular portions (a bit like lasagna).

Caprese

Caprese or Caprese salad is a fresh dish, suitable for summer, typical of the Neapolitan tradition. Its name derives from the Island of Capri, which this dish is inspired by. Very simple and quick to prepare, it is a dish that greatly enhances the quality of the ingredients. Therefore it is very important to choose quality buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes and basil. Raw oil also plays a strong role. If there is no basil, it can be replaced with oregano (winter version). Some versions also include the addition of anchovies in oil.

Trenette with pesto

Trenette with pesto is a typical Ligurian dish and is very well known on all our tables: it has spread throughout the national territory and also abroad. But not everyone knows that the real dish includes not only the use of Genoese pesto to season pasta, but this is accompanied by boiled potatoes and green beans. In fact, it is only thanks to the addition of these two ingredients that the dish acquires a more complete and distributed taste, without exaggerating with the addition of pesto which can, at times, make the dish less digestible or taste too garlicky.
