    When I was a teenager, often my grandmother made me these turkey rolls with cheese, ham, and sage, when I went to visit her.
    She accompanied them with roasted potatoes. This dish always brings good memories.

  • A light jam tart

    70 min. plus the dough rest time
    (Leave a review)

    Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I usually have a traditional Italian breakfast.
    My favorite choice is a jam tart. As I have it regularly for breakfast I invested some time in making it to reduce fat, sugar and eggs.
    The final result is excellent and, although it would be considered a dietetic tart it’s so crunchy and tasty. It’s important to use a good jam
    Of course jam tarts are also a a great choice for dessert

  • Cannelloni

    (Leave a review)

    Cannelloni is a valid alternative to lasagne, and a little lighter as it is filled with sheep ricotta cheese. Similar to Cannoli they are dressed with Bolognese and Béchamel sauce, topped with Parmigiano Reggiano to get a crunchy crust.
    Though it is not very quick to make, especially if you don’t have any Bolognese sauce ready, it is worth making them once in a while.
    I usually make the Cannelloni using the Pasta maker this way the tubes are extruded and they are perfect if you use the crank machine you can make lasagnas and wrap them around the ricotta filling.

  • My Limoncello

    (Leave a review)

    Limoncello is a popular Italian liqueur that can be easily made at home, provided you have the patience to wait. Traditionally, it is made using Amalfi lemons, but maybe you can use other lemons with thick and bumpy peels as well.
    Once you try making it yourself, you’ll never want to go back to the tasteless bottled versions.
