A marriage made in culinary heaven: pasta with broccoli and sausage. What else can I say. Just delicious. To enhance the flavor, I added a drop of tomato paste and sprinkled pecorino after the heat was off and it got amalgamated. 

 It's nice not to cook sometimes. Since I'm enjoying a stay in my house in northern PA, I decided to eat at my favorite Italian restaurant in Scranton. Stefano, the owner-chef and a friend just opened a bigger and very stylish restaurant  located at 114 Wyoming Avenue to great and deserves success. His specialty is fresh pasta. A plethora of styles that he also sells on line. In the restaurant you can have your favorite with a variety of sauces. Naturally he also serves great antipasti and pizzas; all delicious. On this occasion I opted for gnocchi with pesto. Stefano is from Genova so his pesto is authentic. The only thing I can say is to visit this restaurant if you are in the area. You will be very satisfied.

 Pasta con cavoli or pasta with Kohlrabia winter stable in Sicily where these grow during the winter. A very simple dish with a touch of tomato concentrate, garlic and peperoncino.

 Another delicious example of eating in Sicily. Fettuccin ewith pomodorini, basil and garlic. Simple but very tasty.

    Pasta with artichokes, a delicious dish that is a delight to the palate. 

 

Pasta con patate e salsiccia. Pasta with potatoes and sausage. An appropriate dish for the end of summer.
