Lasagna Bolognese with macaroni (Pasticio or Pasta Pasticciata)
Here is another Saturday temptation – in Italian way with the most delicious Bolognese and Béchamel sauce as in the wonderful lasagna, and in our Bulgarian way – to use whatever pasta we have in the cupboard. Let’s not forget the delicious yellow crust on top. And you want – sprinkled on top with Parmesan… Well, here are my LASAGNA BOLOGNESE WITH MACARONI. Later I found out that in Greece it is called PASTICIO, and in Italy – Pasta Pasticciata. But no matter how they call it – it’s delicious, I guarantee you! Just try it! 🙂 Enjoy! 🙂 Here is the recipe:

Fast puff pastry mini pizzas
Puff pastry has saved me more than once when I have to make something for breakfast. That’s why I almost always have at least one package in the fridge. Various shapes and fillings – rolled up as a snail, wrapped triangular or rectangular patties and other snacks. Here is today’s variation – QUICK PUFF PASTRY MINI PIZZAS. They disappeared in seconds! 🙂 Try it!

It turned out to be something very tasty! Try it for yourself! Enjoy! * The recipe is borrowed from the culinary Facebook group “Italy on the table”. Here is the recipe:

Zucchini cake (an Italian recipe)
Hello, dear cooking and not so much cooking, but only looking at the delicious and interesting recipes, friends! After about 10 days of absence (for good reasons), I’m posting something tasty again. During this time (those who have made major repairs at home will understand me), I did not stop cooking, but due to the nature of the dishes that had to come out of my partially nylon-covered modest kitchen, they did not deserve much attention. But here’s a recipe I hope you like – ZUCCHINI CAKE. I found the recipe on the culinary YouTube channel of an Italian grandmother, Gina Petitti, who has lived in the United States for…

Fast spaghetti Marinara
Marinara sauce is a tomato sauce, usually made with tomatoes, garlic, onions and other spices – basil, oregano, parsley, pepperoncini, capers, anchovies and more. It is a slowly cooked sauce (through simmering for about 2 hours or more), similar to bolognese sauce (ragu). This recipe is fast. The fast Marinara sauce is less aromatic but still very delicious. My personal favorite addition to Marinara sauce is the Bulgarian white cheese. Any other cheese can be added to this sauce.

Fast spaghetti Bolognese
A classic Italian taste in half an hour. The original recipe calls for longer preparation of the sauce (ragu), but the fast recipe is also very delicious. It can be prepared with any other type of pasta.

Improvized focaccia with olives and rosemary (with Street mekitsi dough)
Hello, dear cooking friends! I had forgotten about this bread because it was improvised – as a “leftover” product of the Street mekitsi dough. The dough was quite a lot, and there weren’t that many people to feed at home, so I left some of the dough for the mekitsi in the fridge. In the afternoon, I rolled it lightly in a greased pan and baked it with olives and rosemary. Similar to Focaccia Italian recipes. You can see the recipe for Street Mekitsi Dough HERE. And here’s how I cooked this Olives and Rosemary Focaccia:
