Greetings, this blog is dedicated to my life in photography and my passion for good Italian food.. I want to make this a place to stop and relax. In the hope that this will provide some respite and peace. Thank you for visiting.

More fava beans. This is the real and original pasta con le fave secche o pasta 'cu maccu. In Sicily the fava's cooked in this matter are called maccu. This probably the queen of cucina povera or poor cuisine. The irony in this is that the poor actually ate more nutricious and healthy dishes than the rich who ate all sorts of fattening foods. At any rate this is a super simple and economical dish that provides needed proteins. It's my favorite meal.
