Pt.4

Why do you love Italy?

For example:

[apropositodime]

Chiudo gli occhi e volo in Puglia

I Trulli

Le scogliere del Gargano

E poi il Salento

Lu sole☀️

Lu mare🌊

Lu ientu.🌪️

Arrivo a Lecce il colore del tufo pugliese si scontra l'azzurro del cielo, ricordo la festa di Sant'Oronzo ad agosto, tutti quegli addobbi, quelle Luci.

La pizzica ballata nelle piazze

Il pasticciotto a colazione

" Vieni a ballare in Puglia, Puglia, Puglia...." 🎶

Ah si

Orecchiette con crema di cime di rapa...madonna che buone.

The Orecchiette Ladies of Bari, Italy

"Bari Vecchia, ‘old Bari’ is a small ancient part of the larger city, medieval in fact, with mazes of jumbled streets twisting and turning and laundry hanging from balconies wherever you turn.

It is within these charming walls, behind the Basilica di San Nicola, down two tiny covered alleyways, you find local women lining the streets hand making authentic orecchiette pasta.  Rustic wooden work tables, dusted in semolina, spill out onto the street, while doors to their houses are left wide open so you can peer into their houses as you pass by."

I love this so much

Hot Pasta alla Vodka (Vegetarian)

This spicy, creamy and warming Hot Pasta alla Vodka makes a deliciously comforting lunch, especially when you've caught a bit of a chill! Happy Tuesday!

Ingredients (serves 2):

2 cups short pasta (like orecchiette)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 large onion

1/3 red chili pepper

a generous bunch Garden Parsley 

3 large Whole Peeled Tomatoes+ 1/3 cup of their juice

1 tablespoon Hot Pepper Sauce 

a pinch of fleur de sel or sea salt flakes and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

5 tablespoons good quality Vodka

½ tablespoon caster sugar

half a dozen large leaves Garden Basil

½ cup double cream

Parmesan Cheese

In a pot of salted boiling water, cook orecchiette according to package’s direction, usually 9 to 11 minutes until al dente.

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large, deep, nonstick skillet over medium heat. 

Finely chop the onion and stir into the skillet. Cook, a couple of minutes until softened.

Thinly slice red chili pepper, and add to the skillet; cook, 1 minute more. 

Finely chop Parsley, and stir into the skillet as well.

Roughly chop Whole Peeled Tomatoes, and stir them into the skillet, along with their juice. Increase heat to medium-high, and simmer, 4 minutes, stirring often. Stir in Hot Pepper Sauce. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Then, stir in Vodka and caster sugar. 

Finely chop Basil, and stir half into the sauce. Simmer, a couple of minutes more, then add double cream.  Allow to reduce and thicken a little, 2 minutes.

Then, drain orecchiette, saving 1/3 cup of its starchy water. Stir both into the skillet, coating the pasta in sauce. Grate in about ¼ cup Parmesan. Give a gentle stir until the sauce beautifully coats the pasta.

Serve Hot Pasta alla Vodka, sprinkled with remaining fresh Basil, topped with freshly grated Parmesan, hot, with a glass of chilled dry white wine, like a light and citrus-y Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc.

RAI images of Jerry's arrival in Bari on January 4, 1984 for the Apulian leg of his Italian tour. Ten dates throughout Italy. Jerry was expected in 1983 but the bad heart attack he had blocked him from the USA. And as you can see just a year later it was already in full swing even on another continent❤️

The RAI journalist recounts that as soon as he got off the plane Jerry was offered a dish of "orecchiette" typical Apulian pasta still handmade today (and sold) by elderly women in the historic center of the city. Who knows... maybe he ate a really nice plate of Apulian "orecchiette con le cime di rapa" at the hotel. I attach a photo of this simple but delicious recipe 😋
