Pasta with Cream of Pecorino, Egg and Ricotta
Cream and rich pasta with delicious ingredients from the farms.
Ingredients
- Pasta Rigatoni or Paccheri - about 80g for one portion;
- Ricotta, fresh or salted - I baked and salted mine after 3 days that I had made it as it becomes a bit acidic after, this way also the flavor is enhanced;
- Pecorino - I'm very prod of this cheese here because it's coming straight from my neighbour's pasture, and he's aging his cheeses even two years which makes them very intense.
- One egg.
Preparation
First of all, grate the cheese and the ricotta until they are very fine. Then mix them together with the egg into a smooth cream. Optionally you can add a pinch of saly but careful because Pecorino is salty.
Cooking
Pour some water to boil in a pot and then salt it; once it reached the boiling point add the pasta and cook it - typically for about 10 minutes.
Once ready, drain it but not completely - save little bit of cooking water that is full of starch and wait a minute so that it's hot but not boiling, then pour the egg, cheese and ricotta mixture in to make the cream using the emulsifying properties of the starch in the cooking water mixing with the pasta energetically;
This magnificent pasta is ready. Spread some more cheese on top if you feel like and some pistacchio grains for texture.
I wish you well.
Take care,
George.
Espresso Coffee Like at the Bar with Moca Pot
Love coffee and ever wished to make a creamy espresso at home? It's possible! You can achieve it with a moca pot or with a cheap machine.
All you need is a bit of sugar, about 3 tea spoons, to use for making a coffee cream
So first of all make the coffee.
If you use a moca pot make sure to pour an amount of water to fill it just below the metal circle
Then fill the filter completely with coffee.
If you use a machine I believe you dont't need instructions.
Close the moca well and place it on low heat.
when it's ready, the moca should make a typical intermittent sound, so you can turn off the heat.
Take a little bit of that coffe, about half an espresso cup, and pour it over the sugar.
Use your power to mix it well and thus you will have the cream.
Mix a little bit of that cream with some coffee that is waiting in the moca, and then you'll have your creamy espresso!
