New Year has passed and left us all sleepy and idle up chairs and sofa.
Even Dino, the cat's cattery Patat, hit a nap in the afternoon waiting for the first day of the new sliding away.
For these parties miciapallina not cooked, at most eagerly indulging bakery has some quirks and petty.
Divertissement holidays.
Christmas and New Year's menu with a surprise organized by Brothers-One and Grandma Cat!
Great gift indeed!
And so it was, that Eve came the clams!
“ Come la faccio io la pasta con le vongole, non la fa nessuno ” mi sono sempre vantata, poi è arrivato lui, il Fratell-One, e che buon sangue non mente si è capito subito, tale madre, tali figli!
Semplice semplice, come nella tradizione micesca, profumata di mare, pochi gli ingredienti necessari ma “rigorosamente” freschi, ed ecco la:
Pasta e vongole per l’alba del Natale
Per farla abbiamo “invitato” alla nostra tavola:
a couple of handfuls of clams, liberal amount
The first thing to do "open" the clams. Fire
looking strong and in charge of the operation when the pan is hot, the clams buttateci inside and cover.
a moment, and now the little ones start to open one by one with a snap.
must be prepared to "recover" and to put them away, because the trick with them, you do not overcook them, otherwise then will look like small tires.
When we retrieved all, we filter the Arquette remaining in the pan and let's keep it aside ( you know that you are curious, but I tell you then what will ... ).
In the warm frying pan jumps pasta Brothers-One has brown the garlic, gently, gently.
Whole, so then you are free to keep them (as I do ) or remove ( would like vampires )!
sure the cook with an air consumption, he added the clams, blended with a nice glass of white wine, poured the chopped tomatoes and chili pepper ( he put it all ) and cooked in fire looking lively.
The sughino the tomatoes will dry quickly, but the clams are soft soak the smell of tomato.
It 's a combination of "exciting" for the taste buds!
When cooked, sprinkle with parsley, without exaggeration, waiting to drain the pasta.
Here, pasta scoliamola a moment before, a little more al dente, so you can finish cooking along with sughino.
Brothers-One has drained the pasta dough in the frying pan jumps, added the Arquette clams that had set aside at the beginning, and then started .... to jump really the dough!
I also tried to take pictures, but I was so enchanted that I did.
The frying pan keeps jumping pasta squeals of joy to every evolution as I expected any minute to see the linguine fly from all sides .... but no!
Operation "skipping meals" perfectly successful!
I doubt that my pan I will pay no more the word, I had used so ...
... but now that she has discovered her true nature as an acrobat will be difficult to get her back more merciful!
However, clams, linguine and all sughino, remained inside the clam Arquette made the dough soft and voluptuous, preventing it from drying out during the "jump" ( below a photo of voluptuousness ... )
And so, we have come closer to Christmas, all together, and miciapallina GrandeGatto, NonnaGatta, Brothers-One, and all hairy.
The dinner of fish, as usual, the cats miagolanti from under the chairs, but also on the chairs ... and also tend to be above the tablecloth ...
Brothers-One has really cooked Oscar, we have also appreciated this, "pink" to cook pasta with clams and a glass of wine he no longer hurt anyone!
I take this opportunity to remind everyone that the Contest in collaboration with the pasta Garofalo ( see them next to the invitation? ) Has been extended until January 15!
The jury, composed of Tzatziki breakfast , Lost in kitchen and Senzapanna , waiting for your recipes .... run to cook!
One last question ... ..
know how to recognize "our" clams than, say, English?
From small horns! ( or had eyes? )
Our clams are in fact those two small Cornus separate ( se provate a passarci in mezzo una forchetta o uno stecchino vi accorgete che sono 2, distinte e separate ) mentre nelle altre vongole le due cornine sono unite da una membrana!
Non è buffa la natura?
Vabbè… magari non proprio cosi buffa, ma chi può dirlo!
Comunque, mentre l’epifania si avvicina per portar via tutte le feste ( o quasi… perché il 7 di gennaio ci sarà il megacompleanno di GG…, l’uomogatto portato dalla befana ) io torno a pisolare sul divano, insieme al patatoso la sopra….
nasinasi vongolosi a tutti .
