"Red Gravy or Sunday Gravy"
with braciole, meatballs, sausage, and pork ribs

alla Puttanesca
(AH-lah-poo-tah-NEH-skah)

"Harlot-style'
A spicy Italian tomato sauce.
Usually made with tomatoes,
onions, garlic, pepperoncini,
capers, olives, anchovies, and
oregano.  The reference to
prostitutes supposedly
suggests that this was a sauce
quickly made by such women
between clients.  It is most often
associated with Naples and
Calabria, although it is found
throughout Italy,

Stracciatella
(strah-CH'YAH-teh-lah)

"Little rags"
A chicken or beef soup to which a
paste of egg and cheese is
added to make rag-like shreds
(straccetti) of dough that are
cooked in the broth.
Stracciatella is a specialty of
Rome.  It is also called
stracciatella alla romana or
minestra mille fanti.

Stracciatella also refers to
chocolate chip ice cream
 

Caciocavallo
(kah-ch'yoh-kah-VAH-loh)

"Horse cheese"
A firm, sharp buffalo or cow's
milk cheese, aged 3 months,
or longer if intended for grating.
 Originally from Campania, this
ancient cheese is now
produced throughout southern
Italy.  The cheese's name may
derive from its being dried in
tandem on either side of a
pole, as if on horseback.  
Others believe the name dates
back to when the cheese was
made from mare's  milk.
 

Antipasto
(ahn-tee-PAH-stoh)

"Before the meal"
Antipasti have tremendous range
and regional variety, from cold
vegetables dressed in olive oil,
slices of cheese, prosciutto, and
other meats to hot foods like fried
vegetables and fish.  When
several of these are assembled,
it is called antipasto misto.  
A large antipasto may consist of
plates of olives, prosciutto,
salami, eggs, salds, pickled
onions, stuffed tomatoes and
peppers, sweet and hot peppers,
beans, vitello tonnato, cold fish,
marinated calamari, anchovies,
sardines, frittata, and other
dishes.  In Sicily appetizers are
called grape 'u pitittu (mouth
openers).
 

alla Carbonara
(AH-lah-kahr-boh-NAH-rah)

"Charcoal style"
A Roman pasta preparation usually
made with linguine sauced with a
raw egg that is cooked by the heat
of the pasta itself.  Then it is tossed
with pancetta or guanciale, pecorino
or Parmesan cheese, and a lot of
black pepper.  The origin of the
name has never been confirmed.  
Some people believe that it was a
dish created by the coal miners of
the mountains between Abruzzo
and Lazio.  The name may simply
derive from the look of the cooked
bits of pancetta in the preparation.
 

Caprese

"In the style of Capri"
Caprese sauce is usually made
with lightly cooked tomatoes,
basil, olive oil, and mozzarella.  
Insalata alla caprese is a salad
of tomatoes, bail, and
mozzarella dressed with olive oil
and sometimes vinegar.

FEATURED RECIPES
To make authentic tasting Italian dishes you must
use authentic Italian ingredients. This flour makes
all the difference in the world when it comes to
making pasta, pizza, or bread. The dough is silky
smooth, easy to stretch and tastes great.  
Once you try it, you will be amazed at the
difference it makes in your recipes.
This pasta-roller attachment designed for use with
KitchenAid stand mixers allows for creating thick or thin
sheets of fresh pasta. The efficient rollers turn out 6-inch
sheets of pasta. If you're tired of using one hand to crank
your pasta machine and one hand to feed the dough, this
attachment makes pasta- making so much easier.
With this pasta extruder attachment your KitchenAid stand
mixer goes to work making fresh, homemade large or small
macaroni, fusili, rigatoni, bucatini, fusili or spaghetti. Position
the desired plate and attach the press onto the power hub of
any KitchenAid stand mixer. Feed balls of dough through the
hopper and use the built-in wire cutter to customize the length
of the noodles. Enjoy authentic homemade pasta in minutes,
instead of hours spent rolling and cutting by hand.
