Tagliolini al nero di seppia con granchio – Venetian squid ink tagliolini with crab
Laura @FeelBetter
Sitting on the edge of one of the most beautiful canals in Venice is the most quintessential place to be to enjoy a chilled glass of prosecco and enjoy squid ink pasta with seafood. It’s busy on the canals, especially the Grand Canal, but it’s really relaxing watching the gondoliers gently kick off the bridges and using a remo (oar) glide their sleek gondolas by.
The gondola seems to have risen out of necessity due to the fact that there aren’t many bridges that cross the waters. Originally made from tree trunks with a flat bottom, shallow hull and pointed prow to easily navigate even the narrowest of Venetian canals.
I’ve brought back from Venice some lovely tagliolini al nero di sepia made from 100% durum wheat semolina, flavoured with squid ink and slow dried. It’s like tagliatelle but thinner and matches well with seafood. Huge spider crabs are eaten as crab salad or tossed with pasta and often served in their shells.
We have a native brown crab here in the waters surrounding the British Isles, Cancer Pagurus. For some reason it’s not very popular to eat crab here in Britain and so most are sold abroad. Their legs have a good quantity of white, sweet meat which is used at the end, the brown meat being used as a base for the sauce. It has a sublime taste and impressive nutritional credentials and perfect to accompany the squid ink pasta. #June2026 #CA2025

Brasato al Chianti
The rules of my diet - stay of the SOFA (Sugar, Oils, Flour and Alcohol). Alcohol is all but essential to this meal and together with a big serving of beef the calories turn in at 560 calories before adding potatoes (175 calories for the boulangere potatoes shown in the illustration). Nevertheless many versions of this dish use thickening AND oil to brown the meat (dipped in flour) AND oil again to soften the veg and so that would add at least another 250 calories. So take heart from that and from the excellent4½ portions of over5aday per serving. Best to go light on the calories for the rest of the day and enjoy!Counts as an Over5days recipe on the Pro52diet.

Spaghetti Aglio E Olio With Vegetables
#goldenapron4Spaghetti Aglio E Olio With Vegetables is a variation to the traditional Italian pasta dish from Naples by adding vegetables such as bell peppers, fresh parsley and mushrooms. The important key to make spaghetti aglio e olio is to toss the garlic slowly in the virgin olive oil till golden. If the garlic is under cooked it will not release the flavor needed and if it becomes dark then it would give bitter or burnt taste. The spaghetti aglio e oilo is a quick and easy way to fulfill your tummies for a weeknight dinner. It tastes equally good if it is cold and hence a good option to pack for kids lunchboxes or carry for the picnic.https://pepkitchen.com/recipe/spaghetti-aglio-e-olio-with-vegetables/

Shrimp / Lobster Stock
Recipe for a rich stock extracted from the shells of shellfish. Shrimp, Crab, or Lobster
Home Made Chicken Stock
At the start of this week, the weather definitely got into winter mode here in New Zealand. We have had lots of rain and wind and we have begun to layer up and bundle up getting ready for our winter season. Of course this week my daughter had to catch a cough and her nose was running like the nile river. So this recipe isn't an inspiration out of taste buds but because of my daughters nose!I decided to make some home made stock and keep it ready to go in the freezer. There is nothing like home made stock. You know what is going in it and its so much healthier and yummier than a store bought stock. And believe it or not its not that hard to make either!Stock adds a lot of flavor in soups, stews, pasta dishes and risottos. It's also great to add to cook rice, quinoa or couscous ... I used a pressure cooker to make this stock. It took me about an hour. I did not have a whole lot of time, so I went with the easy route. If you prefer the slow cooker, use the same ingredients and let it go for 2 hours.

Karniyarik or Turkish stuffed Eggplants with ground Beef
#Nov#W1#cookpadindiaA popular traditional dish from Turkey made with minced meat and Eggplants or Aubergines. It is absolutely irresistible and flavourful with the kind of the ingredients used and hence is the most loved dish in the Country.The word Karniyarik translates to split belly. Karin means belly and yarik means split. Hence it is named such.It is much similar to the other most popular dish called Imam Bayildi except that this one is fried and then baked whereas Imam Bayildi is a complete baked dish.Not only is this easy, it can be done with minced Lamb, Beef or even Chicken for a change. Though traditionally it's made with Beef. And it's made in Summers when the Turkish markets are flooded with big and fresh Aubergines.This one by me here is made with minced Beef. The meat is cooked with Onions and Tomatoes along with sweet Peppers and few common spices as well as enough of Parsley or Coriander Leaves.And the Eggplants are deep fried and then baked for a few minutes with stuffed cooked meat in it.Try this for your families and enjoy this healthy dish on any special holiday or a weekend.Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!
