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.

Meatless Mondays
Meatless Monday is a campaign that encourages people to not
eat meat on Mondays to improve their health and the health of
the planet. Monday was chosen to encourage people to begin
to make healthy choices for the week ahead over the unhealthy
ones we typically make over weekends. For the month of
January, we'll be posting a new meatless dish each Monday.
Butter bells safely keep your butter fresh and spreadable
without refrigeration for up to 30 days on your countertop.
Never tear up your toast again with hard butter.
It's great for bakers who always need room temperature
butter ... no more waiting for the butter to soften.
These little storage containers will keep your lemon
or lime fresh after you cut a piece off or remove the
skin for zest.  Made of bright and colorful plastic, the
2 sides attach by twist lock. Also great for serving
cut lemons and limes at the table or with cocktails.
Easily hold your plate and drink in one hand.  They're
perfect for tailgating, picnics, outdoor concerts, street
fairs and more. The Go Plate has a specially
engineered center cone that accommodates glass
bottles and aluminum cans.  It has a specially
designed ridge that can also accommodate standard
16/18-ounce plastic cups.
Great for Super Bowl parties!
