I'm going through an escarole and beans period. This time it's curly escarole and black beans a super easy dish requiring a few chopped cloves of garlic, good EVO and a little fresh peperoncino. That's all folk. A very tasty and healthy vegetarian meal.
 

 Social club of sorts, Independence, Oregon. Striking image especially with that saturated sky that in the old days we called a Kodachrome sky.

 A variation on the classic aglio, olio e peperoncino a delicious dish more appropriate during the winter a dish sweet, light and delicious: aglio, olio e peperoni. Take small peppers that com bagged and in all colors dice then finely and on a skillet with fine olive oil, add two diced garlic cloves and cook on medium heat. Season with salt and pepper and start coooking the spaghetti. When al dente and after costant stirring the peppers, toss the spaghetti on the peppers. Stir well. Never overcook the pasta. Shut off the stove and add a generous amount of finely chopped Italian parsley and some more good EVO. Serve and enjoy. This is a seriously delicious dish.

I miss spring

To think that we have to wait 9 months for spring is rather depressing. 

 Legumes like chick peas are a great source of protein especially when paired with a starchy or ggrain food like couscous. Here I made a delicious minestra out of chick peas, broccoli and red cabbage. All three ingredients are super healthy and very tasty.

                     There's only one word to describe this image, intensity, not to mention timing.
 

 A delicious vegetarian dish. Caserecce with broccoli and potatoes. A light dish for a summer lunch.
