This is an old family and a traditional Portuguese recipe, my mom is from the island of St George in the Azores where this recipe originates from, ive been having this since i was a kid.....this is originally done with dry, salted rock cod but its not available in my area.

This is by far the simplest and the most classic pasta dish ever grace this earth. Sometimes, the simpler the dish, the easier it is to screw things up. Maybe one of these days, I will post an IGTV on which pasta to choose and the science of water to pasta ratio for the best results.Spaghetti is traditionally used for this pasta dish, but I find that spaghetti is overrated and overused, while linguine is the polar opposite. Use whatever black peppercorns you can afford. There are hundreds upon hundreds of different brands with a wide range of prices. Use whatever brands you think are worth your money on. At the end of the day, it is the technique that will elevate this dish. Speaking of technique, for the best results, toast the peppercorns before grinding them in a mortar and pestle. Yes, blitzing the peppercorns in a spice grinder will somehow "dilute" the intensity of the peppercorns. I also threw in some pink peppercorns. It permeates the pasta ever so slightly.As for the cheese, use pecorino romano. Do not buy those pre-grated ones. They contain sawdust which preventing the cheese from clumping together. Yes. Sawdust. Somehow the food regulator permitted them. Please, for the love of food, buy a good quality block and grate them freshly whenever you need some cheese. It is magical how just 3 ingredients will create such a complex dish. Simplicity is indeed the ultimate sophistication. I hope you will give this recipe a try.

My sister first made this salad for my friend Lynda and I when we were in our teens. We both loved it so much that she had to double the recipe for us the next time! I think that it was taken from my mom's Madame Benoit cookbook, which has been lost over the years. It has been modified slightly from the original recipe.

I wanted to eat a slow-cooked dish.Please use bone-in chicken. It gives a richer taste to this dish. Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sourness of the canned tomato. Recipe by kazz72

This salad uses a rich dressing that has the delicious flavor of parmesan cheese.Make sure to thoroughly drain the vegetables.A thick Caesar salad dressing tastes the most delicious. Recipe by Cooking S Papa

Picked this up from a chef instructor while taking a cooking class in college

It is literally the quickest meal! You can use any inexpensive type of meat, and pound the cr*p out of it with a meat tenderizer and it will come out PERFECT!

It was an imrpovised dinner that turned out just great!
