Recipes from an empty Italian fridge - Part 1

Too cold outside, too lazy to do grocery shopping but too hungry... 
What to cook when your fridge is completely empty: "L'arte di cucinare con niente... o quasi."  Tonight the first recipe, taught by my suocera (mother-in-law). 

Ingredients
garlic
parsley
peperoncino flakes
pasta
walnuts (also pecan, pistachio or pine nuts will do the trick)

Boil the spaghetti in salted water. In the meantime slice the garlic in thick slices, chop the flat leaved parsley and walnuts. In a large pan heat a good layer of olive oil over medium fire and saute the garlic, peperoncino and nuts. Add the drained pasta (al dente!). Stir fry the ingredients over high heat and add the chopped parsley. Stir well and dinner is ready. 

I dedicate this post to Walter my dear Roman friend. Grazie x la tua lezione! Spero di vederti presto.

Notte everybody


Minimal ingredients, maximum taste!



The fridge was empty but fortunately
our piccola cantina was full  tonight ; )
