Pasta alla Campagna
In English this recipe's name is Country Pasta. It's a simple recipe that my mom grew up eating in Sicily, especially at harvest time when they would eat outdoors. The tasty sauce is made with fresh tomatoes and raw garlic which is so good for your health. It's clean healthy food that can be eaten as part of the Mediterranean diet and it's suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians too.

Radicchio Pesto
Traditional basil pesto, a well-known and well-loved Italian sauce, was the inspiration for this recipe. Its simplicity allows each ingredient to shine through and when crushed together, or pestare in Italian, creates a perfect balance of flavor. I chose to pair it with radicchio which has some amazing health benefits including a boost to your immune system.

Pasta with Cherry Tomatoes
This is a typical recipe from Sicily. My mom grew up eating dishes like this and that's how she has taught me to cook and to eat! Sicilians don't really eat a lot of meat, maybe once or twice a week. They prefer to eat the ingredients that grow freely in the fields. When my mom was growing up, my nonna would make home made pasta and they would pick the fresh olives and tomatoes in the fields. Of course you need a good quality olive oil, just like Papa Vince!

Vegetable Pasta with Tomato Sauce
We used zucchini as our main vegetable ingredient, you can use green beans or cauliflower or your favorite combination of vegetables.
We also used 2 different types of pasta. The shape is called Busiate which is traditional pasta from Sicily. The darker pasta is made from tumminia ancient grain & has 6 times more fiber than regular pasta. The yellow pasta is made from stone ground semolina which is high in nutrients and protein.
