Breadstick Frittata Recipe

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

A great recipe courtesy of Ritrovo Selections. A fantastic way to use several of their products!

In this recipe, the breadsticks pieces absorb the liquid to add texture and contrast to the frittata. It’s a great way to use broken breadsticks and compliment our Casina Rossa truffle salt.

Ingredients:

1 cup Tenuta Castello breadsticks, broken into 1-inch pieces
6 eggs
¼ cup heavy cream
½ cup cooked greens
½ cup cubed boiled potatoes
2 Tbsp. Tenuta Cocevola extra virgin olive oil
Casina Rossa truffle salt, to taste

Directions:

In a bowl, beat eggs with heavy cream until slightly foamy; beat in truffle salt. Place oil in a heavy sauté pan and allow to coat pan and heat well. Add greens and boiled potatoes and sauté briefly. Pour eggs over the greens and potatoes and cook until almost set.

Place the sauté pan under a broiler and cook until set.

Carefully remove frittata from the oven, taking care not to touch hot surfaces. Allow to rest slightly, finish with truffle salt, and serve hot. Enjoy!

Simple Porcini Pasta Recipe

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

People often come into the store asking how they can use the Il Macchiaiolo Porcini Pasta we carry. It’s a gourmet product by all definitions and is a beautifully made and packaged. I always think back to a one of the first ways I cooked it.

When someone once described herself as a food purist to me, I thought what does that mean? Not to identify with a particular way of eating, I have found that the simpler the dish-often the more profound it turn out to be!

Simple Porcini Pasta Recipe

1 bag Il Macchiaiolo Porcini Pasta

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (Tenuta Cocevola recommended)

1/2 tablespoon black truffle oil

1/8 cup fresh parsley, chopped

2 pinches sea salt or truffle salt (always salt to taste)

1/8 cup Pecorino or Parmesan cheese, shredded

Fill large pot with water and add 2 pinches sea salt. Bring water to a boil, add pasta. Cook pasta for 4 minutes, strain. Add pasta back into bowl, mix with olive oil, truffle oil and top with parsley and cheese. Salt pasta dish to taste and serve.
