Cooking class 3 recipes: appetizer, baked pasta, dessert

For this lunch or dinner I propose the dish of the heart: The Genoese. This rich tomato-free ragu, prepared with lots of onions that turn into a delicious puree when cooked, is highly flavorsome and presents a sweet note. It's not a simple meat sauce but it is the maximum expression of love that a Neapolitan expresses when he decides to cook you something special, good and long to make.This delicious sauce will season the pasta. The meat will be served as a second course with a side dish of baked potatoes,Be carefull because maybe next time instead of saying I LOVE YOU you'll put yourself in the kitchen to prepare a Genoese. The other will understund.We will conclude the meal with another ancient Neapolitan specialty: The sweet Migliaccio.

That's amore "The Neapolitan Genoese"

Genovese is a pride of traditional Neapolitan cuisine: a thick sauce made from the slow cooking of onions and meat. Cooking ragù is an act of love, a nourishment of the soul, prepared following not so much a recipe but a ritual. The main ingredient in any ragu recipe is time, and the result repays the wait: a dish that brings everyone together. We end on a sweet note with cream and black cherry pizza, a very old Neapolitan recipe reminiscent of the scents and flavors of yesteryear, grandma's house.

Valentine's Day all year round

Migliaccio is a traditional Neapolitan dish, prepared during the Carnival and Easter periods, but enjoyed pleasantly all year round. The rustic version is a unique, tasty and practical dish to take along for a trip to the coast on spring days. Eggs, ricotta cheese, sausage and cheese to taste are added to a semolina base cooked in milk.Sweet migliaccio, on the other hand, is a soft cake of semolina cooked in milk, flavored with orange and lemon zest, then combined with a dough made of eggs, sugar and ricotta to which raisins and candied fruit are added to taste.To take the embarrassment out of choosing between the two versions, we will make both and delight in them. "We have a last name to defend!"
