Malloreddus with mushrooms and speck (traditional Italian recipe)

The malloreddus with mushrooms and speck are a first course tasty and quick to prepare, which combines a pasta shape typical of the Sardinian tradition (malloreddus) and two delicious and flavorful ingredients like speck and mushrooms.

To intensify the  mushrooms flavor, add a handful of dried porcini. 

Panettone with chocolate chips (traditional Italian Recipe)

At last, I decided to try my hand in the typical dessert of Milan, the city that for more than 10 years I'm staying with affection: I'm obviously speaking of the "panettone"!

Defying my laziness and the claim of my blog , "recipes fast and easy to implement”, I took advantage of a Sunday in cold and my seasonal illness and I prepared the panettone at home ( following the procedure by Sonia Peronaci ), but instead to stuff it with candied fruit and raisins (my husband hates them), I used the exquisite chocolate chips.

I must say that the preparation is long and that , if it were not for the Thermomix , was also a bit ‘ complicated : with the Thermomix , instead , you just have the patience to wait for completing the various stages of fermentation.

The result , after so long wait , it was nothing short of outstanding : good , soft and fragrant more than industrial panettone and , in addition, the house was filled with a sweet scent of sweet that it seemed to be in a pastry .

If you also want to experience the thrill of preparing homemade panettone, follow me into the kitchen and let’s prepare it together!

Pancakes

Pancakes are typical food for US people: if you went to US, you surely tasted them.

Pancakes are a very simple food, as far as preparation and ingredients are concerned: they are a sort of crepe, a little bit taller than usual and than softer, that are cooked in a pan with butter. They could be tasted, when are warm, with maple syrup (following the American recipe) or with a chocolate sauce or jam.

It’s on your personal taste, but the original American Pancakes recipe is for me incomparable (also because you can find maple syrup in every Italian supermarket).
