EDIT: Please move this to the OFF TOPIC area. I meant to post it there, but I

found out I posted it in General Morrowind instead.

 

EDIT 2: In case you haven't noticed, I have corrected the recipe.

In my previous version, I put "goat cheese" when it actually was pecorino, that is, sheep cheese. :oops:

 

 

 

So, we come from different parts of the world... we exchange thoughts, we

exchange ideas, why not exchange recipes as well? I'll begin with an easy one

which is also a classic!

 

SPAGHETTI ALL'AMATRICIANA

 

Difficulty= Easy.

Time required= 30/40 minutes.

 

Ingredients for 4 people:

400 grams uncooked spaghetti

75 grams grated sheep cheese ("pecorino")

100 grams diced bacon

1 hot pepper

4 tomatoes, peeled and without seeds

Salt

Extra-virgin olive oil

One glass of white wine

Pepper

 

Put the oil and a piece of hot pepper in a pan. Heat. When the oil is hot, add

the bacon and saute it. Then add the wine and let it evaporate. When the bacon

has turned crispy, drain it, put it on a dish and keep it hot somewhere. Throw

away the pepper.

Put the tomatoes in the same pan where you previously cooked the bacon.

After a few minutes, add a handful of grated pecorino cheese to make the sauce

thicken.

In the meantime, boil some water, add salt to it and cook the spaghetti.

When the spaghetti are almost done (that is, after about 6/8 minutes, depending

on their thickness) add the bacon to the tomato sauce.

Drain the spaghetti, put them in a large bowl and add the sauce. Add pepper

and grated cheese. Serve.

 

I usually drink red wine with this recipe, but considering white wine is used in

the preparation I don't know if that is what a sommelier would choose. If you have

any questions feel free to PM me. Now... it's your turn ;)

 

One recommendation though: please don't post "italian" recipes unless

you are yourself Italian, or you have special expertise in the area. Did you know

that the famous "italian" sauce Alfredo only exists outside of Italy? ;)

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Board, allow me to present what I consider to be the best recipe for carmel rolls that has ever existed upon this planet. If you are watching what you eat then I suggest not making these rolls, for you will be unable to eat just one. This recipe is not my own, it comes to me from my mother (the greatest cook of all, as everyone believes their own mother to be) and to her from my Grandfather...further history I know not. Enjoy.

- 2.25 cups brown sugar

4. Cover the bowl and allow to rise until double in volume

5. Punch down and roll into 12 inch by 17 inch rectangle

6. Sprinkle the rectangle with cinnamon (use as much as you like)

Stuffed courgettes as a starter

 

Level - fairly easy, cost medium

 

Required one medium sized courgette per person, a handful of peeled cooked prawns per person, one medium sized onion, olive oil, a tablespoon of rice per person, small glass of white wine, large glass of white wine, ground nutmeg and seasoning, 2.5 times as much water as rice.

 

Also needed tin foil and a large handkerchief.

 

Wrap each courgette in tin foil and bake in a medium oven until soft. (I'll check the time and post when I have been back home.)

 

Finely chop the onion (using the handkerchief to keep unwanted bodily emissions out of the dish).

 

Heat olive oil and fry rice until the grains open. Add onion and water and cook until water has been absorbed. You can drink the large glass of white wine at this point to speed things along. Make sure the rice is properly cooked.

 

Take cooked courgettes, slit lengthwise along the top skin and scoop out the courgette flesh without damaging the skin. Keep the skins in the foil in the oven to stay warm. Mix the courgette flesh with the rice/onion mixture add the prawns, small glass of wine, nutmeg and seasoning to taste. Heat gently until the prawns are warmed through. Divide the mixture between the skins and serve immediately.

 

It looks terribly impressive but really isn't at all hard to do.
