Bronte: the best souvenir...

The best souvenir from Bronte, or at least this is mine:

little tagliatelle made with pistachios flour!

don't miss The pastificio ( pastamaker shop) IL Mattarello - Bronte -

Pistachios have no secrets to them!

the best recipe to appreciate my souvenir?

While cooking the tagliatelle on boiling water, prepare the sauce as follows:

ingredients:(quantity " ad occhio" !!!! )

olive oil
chopped fresh garlic
red pepper
crumbs of pistachios from Bronte
heavy cream
salt

Heat olive oil in a medium pan, add chopped onion and cook it but not browned.
Add pistachios and cook for about 1 minute ,stirring and then adding cream untill heated through.
Remove from the heat and add a pinch of salt and red pepper

When pasta is AL DENTE drain it well .Toss well and serve immediately with crumbs of pistachios and a lot of fresh Parmigiano Reggiano!

Buon appetito!*

*Sorry! I was looking forward to eating them that I forgot to take a photo of my successful plate!

Busulmona: like Heaven!

Busulmona : XIXth century farmhouse, once property of the Cavaliere Sessa, today run by the family Di Pino. 5 km far from Noto it is immersed in a wonderful almond grove and carobs olives and all the colours of nature make of this piece of Sicily a true paradise! It works as a B&B at the moment with only two bedroom, but it's also possible to have lunch tasting olive oil and almonds and wathever what rigorously the family produce and cook for you! Tranquillity, harmony, genuinity.. this are the things coming to my mind when I was there The name Busulmona , which is the name of all that area,comes from the Arabic and means the land of sun.... an extraordinary view from the stone terrace on the Val di Noto, from Noto to Vendicari and Marzamemi... . for further information : www.busulmona.com
