🇮🇹 Vignarola Romana + Pasta 🇮🇹
► Watch the video recipe: https://youtu.be/LLT6uxI6OjE
🌱💚 Discover the real inspiration for Pasta Primavera (which isn't Italian). Vignarola Romana is a veggies mix famous in the spring featuring the veggies that grow between the rows of grapes (fave, peas, lettuce, etc).
In modern times, Italians love pairing this with pasta and here we offer our version: a creamy cheese sauce with pecorino which is a classic with fava beans. 🧀🔥
If you don't like paccheri pasta, use your favorite pasta here.

Up for an Easter baking challenge?
I've shared two members-only Italian Easter videos you need to check out including...
Colomba: https://youtu.be/8OZViIwFmKE
This is the REAL Colomba di Pasqua—made at home but worthy of the best artisan bakeries in Italy. Long leavening with lievito madre, real butter, egg yolks, and the secrets of the official Italian regulations. (Yes—there’s even a ministerial decree behind the name! ;)
Forget the shortcuts. If someone says they made a Colomba in one day, it’s not a Colomba—it’s cake in disguise!
Share this video and help spread the truth 😅

🇮🇹 Traditional Basil 'Genovese' Pesto 🇮🇹
► Watch the video recipe: https://youtu.be/9waxhMUSy4Y
Here in Italy, basil is already making an appearance and that means only one thing... PESTO! If you have only ever had storebought pesto in a jar, you are missing out!
Pesto make fresh with a mortar and pestle and eaten right after preparation is the ultimate experience. We'll show you how to make it the right way—the Italian way—in this video. And, we'll show you how Pesto alla Genovese is regionally served.
