Crostini with Caramelized Onion Melted Gorgonzola and Fresh Pear. This is a great way to get rid of that wine that is past it’s prime. For some reason I never have wine that lasts the next day once it is open? It must be from those thirsty little fruit flies. Can someone say pass the Valpolicella Ripasso please! Salute!
The Taleggio cheese is the real star of this show. It is hands down my favorite Italian Cheese.
Fagottini with Cave Aged Taleggio. I think these would be good for breakfast lunch and dinner. Not to mention midnight snack.
I first had these sausage spiedini in the town of Palestrina which is just outside Rome in the mountains. The house we visited was built partially on an ancient Roman acquaduct. We ate these in the field surrounded by olive trees and fig trees. I recall being harassed by a bee, but I think it only enhanced the experience in the long run. Go figure!
This was a really authentic dish I wanted to pass along. The only thing missing was a nice refreshing Vermentino!
