Here we have again one of those recipes which bring me back to my childhood.
When I was getting home and started to smell the cauliflower I wanted to run away! I didn't like it at all...
But now that I grew up and I try to (sometimes) avoid the junk food, I know very well that cauliflowers are very beneficials to the human health and that they also contein an anti-cancer compound, which is released when cauliflower is chopped or chewed.
This is my own recipe for Pasta with Cauliflower.



ingredients for 4

• 1 cauliflower
• e.v. olive oil
• 1 crushed garlic clove
• 1\2 teaspoon of crushed chilly
• 220 gr. of pennette rigate
• parmesan cheese
• salt and black pepper

Wash the cauliflower and take it apart in small parts.
Take a big pot, put a generous amount of olive oil, the crashed garlic, a pinch of crushed chilly and start to brown.
Only now add the cauliflower and make stir-fry for about 5 minutes. After that, lower the flame, add a couple of ladles of boiling water, cover and stew for 30 minutes, taking care of adding water if needed.


Now I start to mash the cauliflower a bit,  to obtein a creamy texture. 
Meanwhile put to boil a pot of water with a handful of salt for the pasta. When the water is boiling add the pasta, respect the cooking time indicated on the package and drain it when it's ready.
Set aside a ladle of cooking water.


After drained, add the pasta to the cauliflower which will still be on the flame, add the cooking water you have previously set aside and stir for 30 seconds.
Season with freshly ground black pepper, olive oil and grated Parmesan cheese.
If you prefer,  instead of cheese you can garnish with roasted breadcrumbs.

As always: Buon Appetito!

In my opinion, this is the most brilliant way to enjoy the roast beef.
It doesn't need to be coocked in the oven so it's fast and what we get, are a juicy, tender, tasty slices of beef.
Actually, it's my father's recipes, who is a great cook!
It doesn't need more than 30 minutes, so it's ideal if you don't have so much time.
As is pictured, is the way I like it: Rare. Of course you can choose how much to cook it, but in this way, it keeps a wonderful tenderness.

ingredients for 4 people

• 500 gr. of sirloin premium roast
• 2 garlic cloves
• salt & pepper
• e.v. olive oil
• 1\2 a glass of red wine
• 1 sprig of rosemary
• 200 gr. of mushrooms

As first, you need to season the beef with a generous amount of salt and pepper, all over it.  Then make a couple of holes in the meet with a knife and put in a pinch of salt, a half clove of garlic and a few rosemary leaves in each hole.


Heat a pot with a generous dose of olive oil, half crushed garlic clove and the spring of rosemary. When it is hot put the beef inside.

Now with a middle high flame,  keep turning the meat in order to brown the surface evenly.



After that add the cutted mushrooms, the wine and when it's completely faded, turn down the flame, cover the pot and cook at low flame for 20 min. circa



Add some more salt and pepper for seasoning the mushrooms and check, stir and turn the beef every 5/6 minutes. To check if the beef is ready,  stick a fork into the beef: if no blood comes out, it' ready!




Cut it in thin slices and it's now ready to serve.



As always Buon Appetito in only 30 minutes!
