What can I say



I really love food more that photography so shooting food dishes that I prepare is the ultimate satisfaction. This is a very traditional and old Sicilian dish called pasta alla carrettiera. The carrettieri where the carters who were obviously replaced by truck drivers. They rode their carts and were very important to local trade. This dish, simplicity in itself, was prepared on the rear of the cart. Today this would be called tailgating. It consists of garlic, basil. olive oil and fresh   green or red pepper that can be replaced by peperoncino. A grating of pecorino completes the dish. The mixture is all raw and can be prepared as the pasta is being cooked. It is absolutely delicious. The pinnacle of minimalism.
