In my family, polenta wasn’t just food... it was tradition. Nonna would spread the creamy cornmeal right onto a wooden board in the middle of the table, and the whole famiglia would gather around. On top, she’d ladle a rich, hearty sausage ragù that filled the room with the smell of comfort and love ❤️

This Abruzzese-style polenta is bold, rustic, and made for sharing. And the best part? It’s naturally gluten-free, yet full of flavor that will warm your heart.

Polenta Recipe is a hearty, classic Italian dish. This polenta recipe is my Nonna's version, made using cornmeal only and topped with a hearty sausage ragu.

I’ll be honest… I used to run away from anchovies. But this pasta? It converted me in one bite.
The anchovies melt straight into the butter (I promise, they disappear!), creating the silkiest sauce that clings to every strand of spaghetti. Add a little lemon zest and Pecorino and the flavor becomes bright, creamy, and unbelievably good. This is true cucina povera: simple, humble ingredients… big Italian flavor.

If you grew up in Southern Italy, you know this one. Crispy on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside… filled with grape jam, chocolate, almonds, or whatever Nonna had in the pantry. In Abruzzo we call them Caggiunitt, and every family makes them a little differently, but the joy is always the same. These are the bites that disappear before they even reach the table!

If you love pesto, wait until you try this version. It’s creamy, vibrant, and made with pistachios instead of pine nuts… and Pecorino Romano for that rich, salty kick. It works with everything: pasta, bruschetta, roasted chicken, even lamb. Once you make it, you might never go back to the classic.

Bucatini all’Amatriciana, a Roman classic with a story behind it! This dish comes straight from the town of Amatrice, and it’s one of the recipes that truly shows how powerful simple ingredients can be. Guanciale, tomato, pecorino… that’s all you need when the ingredients are good and the technique is right. And bucatini is the perfect pasta for this sauce, it holds the flavour inside and out.

In my kitchen, I follow the traditional method but add one small ingredient that gives it an extra lift. Nothing crazy, just a little touch that I think makes the flavours even better. I’m curious if you’ll agree.

If you want to learn the real story behind Amatriciana and cook it the Italian way, you can watch the full recipe here: https://www.vincenzosplate.com/bucatini-allamatriciana/
