Pasta e Ceci
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
The Italians are great soup eaters, and one of the truly classic trattoria soups is this simple blend of chick peas -- also known as garbanzo beans -- simmered in an aromatic broth, punctuated by bits of pasta, and seasoned at table with best-quality olive oil. The soup should be thick and porridge-like, almost thick enough to hold a spoon upright! Since it's so rich, serve it in small portions, accompanied, at most, by a green salad or simple grilled poultry or fish. It's also a great treat when preceded by a platter of raw vegetables dipped in olive oil, just as I sampled one spring evening at Trattoria Omero, a lively spot with a marvelous view of the hills of Florence. Some foods are simply an excuse for eating something else, and I often think of this golden, harvest-like soup as an excuse for garlic and oil, two favorite foods that always put me in a happy frame of mind.
Ingredients:3 cups (1 pound; 500 g) dried chick peas (garbanzo beans)Instructions:
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium carrot, diced
1 rib celery, thinly sliced
4 plump fresh garlic cloves, crushed
Several sprigs of fresh parsley, sprigs of sage, bay leaves, and celery leaves, tied in a bundle with cotton twine
2 to 3 quarts (2 to 3 l) cold water
Fine sea salt to taste
1/2cup (3 ounces; 90 g) tiny dried Italian pasta, such as ditalini, broken spaghetti, or tiny elbow macaroni
Extra-virgin olive oil, for the table
Torta di Ricotta
This is a delicate, tenderly sweet, and crustless ricotta cheesecake, studded lightly with pine nuts and raisins, and harboring a faint hint of lemon, orange, and spice. I frankly prefer it to the heavier, richer American-style cheesecake, and strongly recommend that cheesecake lovers add it to their repertoire. I sampled this dessert one sunny Saturday in December, at the excellent family-run trattoria Checchino dal 1887, in Rome.
Igredients:
Unsalted butter and all-purpose flour for preparing the cake pan
1 cup (200 g) Vanilla Sugar (page 324)
1/3cup (45 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2cup (2 ounces; 60 g) pine nuts
3/2cup (70 g) golden raisins
1/4teaspoon fine sea salt
2 pounds (1 kg) whole-milk ricotta (or two 15-ounce containers)
6 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Grated zest (yellow peel) of 1 lemon
Grated zest (orange peel) of 1 orange
Confectioner's sugar, for garnish
