 Another wonderful and delicious pasta dish. Fusilli with pesto of zucchine and pomodorini. A splendid candidate for lunch or for a first course at supper.


 Just glorious, ineffable. Brooklyn Botanic Garden, a few weeks ago.


 Pasta e piselli - pasta with peas- to which I added pomodorini for a more colorful and tastier dish. I cut uo spaghetti but any other cuts of pasta are fine. A very springtime dish.

 Sr. volunteer at the day care center in the Hagedorn Family Resource Center in Hempstead,  Long Island, NY.  I was shooting for a brochure for my client, Family and Children's Association.

One of the most delicious so called salva cena or dinner savior I ever prepared. Penne rigate with canned tuna in olive oil, shredded zucchine and tomatoes. Absolutely delicious.

 Vincent Gardenia. I shot him years ago in his home in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn for an Italian magazine. He said that he could live anywhere he wanted but preferred the old neighborhood where people looked after each other. A wonderful man who is greatly missed.



 Classic pasta all'amatriciana, one of the most delicious, simple and popular pasta throughout Italy. It uses only, guanciale or pancetta, tomatoes and black pepper or peperoncino. Simply delightful.
