My husband lunch today: spaghetti alla puttanesca

My husband lunch today: spaghetti alla puttanesca also known like “ the lady of the night sauce”
This sauce is pungent and delicious.
The combination of 🌶, anchovies, olives, capers, garlic, oil and tomatoes is just a 💣.
Also its easy to make, just 15/20 minutes, recipe on my cookbook ❤️
And now here some story about Pasta alla Puttanesca from @seriouseats

Puttanesca" literally translates to "in the style of prostitutes," supposedly because the pungent aromas of garlic, anchovies, capers, and olives tossed with pasta were how Neapolitan prostitutes would lead customers to their doors.

Soup season is on and Minestrone is one of our fav

Soup season is on and Minestrone is one of our favourite ( recipe on my cookbook).
My son likes to call the minestrone “ 10 colour soup” because all the different colour of the vegetables. When he wants minestrone he simply ask me “ mammy, can you make the 10 colour soup” 😂😂
Since he was little he liked to give different nickname to his favourite dishes.
I really wanted to share this unique thing on my cookbook but he didn’t give me the permission 😂
Which is your favourite soup?
Happy Wednesday you are amazing 😍🥰

Fresh Pasta Recipe from my Cookbook. I dedicated t

Fresh Pasta Recipe from my Cookbook. I dedicated that importance recipe to all the Italian women around the world who keep Italian traditions alive.
Since I moved to Vancouver 17 years ago I met so many Italian woman that left Italy to follow their heart or for better life.
Each of one of them have one thing in common: Italy is still in their heart and the way that they can feel close to their Country is cooking and keeping Italian Traditions alive.
Those women have so many amazing recipes that are so proud of it they all are definitely better than any Cookbook.
I still remember the first time that I went to an Italian gathering with my mother in law: tables of yummy food all homemade with love ❤️
Listening to all those woman and their recipes was simply the best, they all are so proud of their food and the fact that they are still cooking the way their mom taught them.
I learned how to make Fresh Pasta here in Vancouver and I have to say All those women inspired me to cook from scratch every day and never loose my Culinary traditions 💓💓💓

Seventeen years ago before I moved here someone in Italy said to me “ You know you are going to America and you will be eating hamburgers and hotdogs every day” well Im proud to say that is completely the opposite and I wrote a cookbook about Italian Cuisine 🙌
Life is also about little wins like this sometimes ❤️🥰🇮🇹🇨🇦
Buy my cookbook and for more stories about italian woman and recipe of fresh pasta Step by Step with pictures ❤️ www.mammamarzia.ca link in bio.
Happy Sunday friends, you all are so amazing 🤩

Excited for the next coming week when I will have to hold my baby number four (my cookbook) and you will get to hold it too.
Im very nervous and scared, I really hope you will like it.
This was a full labour of love that really will make a difference out there, I think.
Like I said Im not a chef or anything fancy but just an Italian Mom that wants to bring back people to the kitchen and inspire them to cook real homemade food.

I have compiled my first cookbook, draw from generation of experience that I hope will inspire you to cook for your family and build memories around the kitchen table.
Do you wanna buy it?

Lentils Soup/ Pasta e lenticchie memories of my ch

Lentils Soup/ Pasta e lenticchie memories of my childhood.
The recipe belong to my mom and its in my cookbook. www.mammamarzia.ca
I used to love lentils as a child and I still remember the amazing smell of lentils in my house back in Italy 🇮🇹
Real food make your house smell amazing 😍
Can you believe that every time I make lentils now I literally go back in Time?
This is a very simple way to make lentils soup; my mom used to boil the lentils with few tomatoes, celery, extra virgin olive oil and water. The result is outstanding and light.
You could use the same method with different legumes.
You could also not add the pasta at the end and leave this soup low carbs. I also don’t add Parmigiano because I love the flavour of lentils so this is a #vegan recipe.
Happy Friday I love you all , you all are amazing 😍

Pasta with butter and Parmigiano Reggiano. So simp

Pasta with butter and Parmigiano Reggiano.
So simple and so delicious, this is another memory of my childhood.
My mom used to make it when she didn’t know what to cook, I do the same with my family now. In this household we love Pasta with butter covered with Real Authentic Parmigiano Reggiano, the result WONT do the same if you use fake Parmigiano.
Did you know that in my cookbook the amazing word Parmigiano Reggiano did not get translate in the English version Parmesan? I simply refused, I decided to keep it the Italian way.
If you use real Parmigiano you elevate a simple plate of pasta to another level, this is a fact. Try and let me know ❤️
You will find the recipe on my cookbook www.mammamarzia.ca link in bio.
The cookbook is full of easy recipes, Authentic and passed down from generation. If you are a beginner in the kitchen this is your book ❤️

Spectacular picture from my cookbook pag 13. Please consider that this is the picture of the draft of the cookbook.
I simply love this picture and so happy that @umbrella2design used it for the beginning of my amazing story. To read the other 2 pages of my story you have to buy my cookbook www.mammamarzia.ca link in my bio.
The little church at the bottom of the picture is the church that is located close to my mom’s house, my favourite place in the world. I miss that church so much ❤️
I used to go to the church often when I was younger; we used to go to Catechism twice a week and Mess every Sunday.
If you ever travel to Italy I deeply suggest you to go inside a Church while there is a Mess, I think its pretty spectacular.
When I was younger I used to sing at the church choir and I also used to play Clarinet in the Local Church Marching Band.
With the local Church Band we used to go the the Sunday events like all the feste di paese/ village festival and play church songs.
The major events were the festa del patrono/ Patron Saint Day that was the biggest event of the year 😂😂
Lots of food, music, singing, parades.
We used to march and play our instruments behind the Patron Statue and the priest around the village.
After the parade we used to meet at the church again outside and eat all day.
Such a sweet memories of my childhood, I deeply miss those days ❤️💔
Can’t wait to go back to Italy again and walk to the church and look at the beauty around me ❤️🇮🇹
Happy Tuesday friends, I love you all you all are amazing 😍

🚨Spoiler alert from my cookbook 🚨
Im so proud to share this recipe with the world.
This is my mom’s meat sauce, our absolutely favourite. I can see becoming favourite sauce in so many family but more exciting is that my family traditions will become yours too ❤️❤️❤️
This is the sauce that I use for Lasagna, fettuccine, cannelloni or on a piece of bread.
Do you want to know my favourite way to taste the sauce? I like to dip some bread in it and taste. Its truly the best way, you could ask my daughter she is an expert on that😂

When I was a kid I remember sneaking into the kitchen to dip the bread, it was so satisfying.
My mom used to scream if she saw me and now I do the same with my daughter. Its risky to leave the pot unattended in my house 😂😂😂😂
Happy Sunday I love you all you are amazing

Nine years ago I baked cookies and sold them at school craft fairs, it was so much fun.
If you know me you know that I don’t like baking but, at that time I was helping out a friend with her craft fairs.
I remember staying up late the night before the craft fair and baking Nutella Heart Cookies with my kids. At 11 pm they were eating Nutella cookies like like there is no tomorrow 🤣, we definitely build up sweets memories 🥰
What I have learned from that experience is that baking is not my thing.
My desserts came out beautifully and every craft fair we sold out but I m more creative so I LOVE cooking.
Cooking is truly my passion especially cooking pasta💓❤️
Happy Thursday, I hope you liked my #throwbackthursday

I found this old pictures of my in law from 1968 the day before they got married.
My mother in law moved here end of November 1967, she had to live at some friends house until the wedding in January.
She was not allowed to live in the same house with my father in law before the marriage 😊
I recently found a love letter that he sent her before she moved here and I have to say I m still speechless, I cried after I read it 💓💓
That letter handwritten from 1967 has so much love, dream of a family and hope for a better life.
I have so much respect for all the immigrants that left Italy and moved far away for a better life; back then they had no phone and no way to contact family, no English, no money but I hope for a great future.
They all worked so hard for that, Italians are very well know for being hard worker.
My father in law had 20 dollars in his pocket when he landed to Canada and had to work 2 jobs for quite a while to create a better future and he did a great job. He was so proud of his family and what he achieved in 54 years of hard work.
Happy Wednesday ❤️
