Quinoa, poppy seeds and lemon muffin

This is a great recipe for who is trying to loose weight or gain muscle. Also gluten free.

375ml (1cup) quinoa flour (if you don't have it home, pretty much using a blender or pesto mortar, blend quinoa until is like a flour texture)
30ml (2 tbsp) Poppy seeds
22ml (1 1/2 tbsp) corn starch
14ml (3 tbs) baking powder
2ml (1/2 tbs) salt
3 eggs
175g (3/4 cup) greek yogurt
60ml (1/4 cup) coconut oil
125ml (1/2 cup) honey
2 lemons (use just the zest)

To make this muffin is very simple. Pretty much mix all the solid ingredients together in one bowl. In a second bowl, using a hand mixer mix all the liquids. Then slowly incorporate the solids into liquids until is homogenised. Bake for 25 minutes in 180C (370F).
Trick: You can juice the two lemons and mix with one tbsp of honey, cook for 2 minutes and using a spoon add on the top of the muffins.

Goes perfect with a cup of tea or coffee! :)

Buckwheat ravioli

 Pizzoccheri is a typical recipe of Valtellina, a mountainous region of Northern Italy.
Traditionally the pizzoccheri are a sort of short fettuccine made with buckwheat flour.
The sauce is made with savoy cabbage, potatoes, mountain cheese and a lot of butter.
It was amazing for us to make a sort of upgrading of the recipe, giving it a fusion touch...


Ingredients for 4 persons:


  • 150 g buckwheat flour
  • 100 g all purpose flour 
  • 20 g water 
  • 200 g boiled potatoes 
  • 20 g grated Parmigiano cheese + some more to season pasta 
  • 100 g semi-hard cow cheese like Asiago Mezzano
  • 250 g cabbage or savoy 
  • a handful of sage leaves 
  •  wo cloves of garlic
  • ground nutmeg and black pepper, e.v.o.oil, sea salt to taste 
 Boil the potatoes for about 30 minutes and set aside to cool down.

Make the dough: combine the two flours, a pinch of salt. Add a bit of water at a time: it may be that you will need more or less than 120 grams of water. It depend on the type of the flour. Add water a bit at a time until you get a tender but not sticky dough. Wrap in cling film and set aside for 15 minutes.
 Mash the cold potatoes and pour them into a large bowl. Add 20 g of grated Parmigiano cheese and the semi-hard cow cheese, grated. Season with a pinch of nutmeg, a pinch of ground black pepper and two pinches of sea salt. Combine well.
Roll the dough onto a floured surface. You can use the pasta maker, if you have one. The pasta sheets must be thin, but not too much like as you were rolling the tagliatelle or fettuccine: pizzoccheri is a rustic kind of pasta. 

You can make ravioli in the shape you like: squares, triangles, rounds... Cut the rolled dough into your favourite shape, place a teaspoon of filling in the middle. 

 Set the ravioli onto a floured board and bring to a boil a large pot of water. 
 
Meanwhile, wash and cut the cabbage into stripes of about 2 cm wide. When the water boils add salt (remember: 7 grams per litre) and pour the vegetable into it. Cook for about 8 minutes, then add the ravioli and cook for 5 minutes more.  

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the sage leaves and the garlic. Cook gently: the condiment must not burn. Drain the ravioli and the cabbage. Place into a serving plate and dress with aromatic hot butter and a generous handful of grated cheese. Enjoy!


Ravioli verdi ai formaggi e salsiccia

Sausage Filling
1/2 pound Italian Sausage (In Italy is just called Salsiccia sfusa)
1 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. crushed red pepper (or if you prefer just ground regular pepper)
1 cup grated Parmigiano cheese
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. parsley
1 egg yolk
Pinch of nutmeg
1. Cook the sausage until it’s no longer pink. Place in food processor, pulsing several times, but do NOT puree it.
2. Mix the sausage with the rest of the ingredients. Keep in the refrigerated until ready to use.

Homemade Spinach Pasta
  • 2 1/2 cups Flour
  • 3 Eggs
  • 5 ounces Fresh or Frozen Spinach (blanched and drained and pureed)
  • pinch Salt
  • pinch freshly Grated Nutmeg
  • Bench Flour (for dusting)

Place the flour, eggs, spinach, salt, and nutmeg in the bowl of the processor and pulse 15 times for 6 seconds at a time. The dough should be elastic and a little sticky. Wrap it in plastic wrap and allow it to rest at room temperature for 50 minutes. (The wrapped dough can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.) 
Note: If using frozen spinach, skip the blanching and simply thaw and press out excess water using a clean kitchen towel.


Cheese and mushroom sauce
  • 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup of our favorite mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbsp. flour
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • ⅔ cup shredded parmesan cheese

  1. In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add mushrooms, garlic, nutmeg, salt and pepper to oil and saute until mushrooms have reduced in size, about 4 minutes. If the mushrooms soak up all the olive oil, add another tablespoon.
  3. Add flour to saucepan and stir to incorporate all ingredients. Cook for one minute.
  4. Add ½ cup of the milk and stir to break up any lumps of the mushroom and flour mixture. The milk will thicken fairly quickly; that’s okay. Add the remainder of the milk and stir to incorporate all ingredients. Bring to a simmer and cook until milk has thickened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Remove sauce from heat and stir in parmesan cheese. If you can, shred your own cheese – pre-shredded cheese has additives in it that make it more difficult for the cheese to melt smoothly. 
  6. Garnish with walnuts if you would like and shredded parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

Ricotta and parsley ravioli



ricotta ravioliServes 6:
To make the pasta:
4 large eggs400g 00 flour
pinch salt
1/2 tablespoon of olive oil
For the filling:
350g fresh ricotta
1 large egg
75 – 100g parmigiano, grated
1/4 tsp nutmeg powder
grated rind of one lemon
1/2 bunch fresh parsely, leaves picked and finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste
For the sauce:
100g unsalted butter
24 fresh sage leaves
grated parmigiano to serve

Make the filling whilst the pasta dough is resting and before rolling it out. To make the filling, simply mix together all the ingredients using a fork until the mixture is homogeneous. Adjust for salt and add pepper if you like. As there is a lot of pasta in this recipe, you should roll out a quarter of the pasta at a time, keeping the remainder wrapped in cling wrap. Make one batch of ravioli as per the instructions and then repeat.
To make the ravioli, place a teaspoon of filling on one half of a rectangle of pasta (our rectangles were about 5cm by 10 cm). Dip a finger in water, wetting the pasta around the filling. Now close the rectangle of pasta like a book so that the filling is enclosed, pressing well around the edges so the raviolo is sealed and there is no air trapped in the filling. Dust the pasta lightly with flour and place on the bench under a tea towel so the pasta does not dry out. Repeat with remaining pasta and filling.
To cook, heat a large pot of salted water until boiling and cook the ravioli for 5 to 7 minutes, until cooked. Whilst they are cooking, make the burnt butter by heating up the butter in a medium sized frypan, until the butter melts and add the sage leaves. Cook for a few minutes until it starts to turn brown. Drain the ravioli and spoon on the burnt butter sauce, decorating with a few crispy sage leaves. Some grated parmigiano is lovely on top of this as well.
