MANTECATURA

The secret to making a delicious risotto lies in a perfect stirring (mantecatura)! 👩‍🍳

A proper stirring is what gives you that deliciously creamy and smooth texture.

To mantecare risotto, you should start by adding a small amount of hot broth or stock to the rice and stirring continuously with a wooden spoon. Keep the heat at a medium level to ensure the broth is slowly absorbed into the rice.

As the broth is absorbed, continue to add more liquid, one ladleful at a time, and keep stirring. The key is to not let the rice dry out or stick to the bottom of the pan, so make sure to keep adding liquid and stirring until the rice is fully cooked.

Once the rice is cooked to your liking, remove it from the heat and add a generous amount of butter and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. This is the final touch that will give your risotto its creamy and velvety texture.

Stir the rice vigorously, allowing the butter and cheese to melt and blend with the rice, until perfection.

Then get prepared to taste it and pray for the miracle! 🙏

As Italians, we take food very seriously. 🧐

That's why we want to share with you 3 ESSENTIAL tips on how to perfectly boil pasta!🍝

1) Use a large pot of salted water - The pasta needs plenty of room to move around and cook evenly. A general rule is to use 4-6 quarts of water for every pound of pasta, and add 1-2 tablespoons of salt per quart of water.

2) Don't overcook the pasta - Al dente is the way to go! Cook the pasta until it is tender but still firm to the bite. This ensures that the pasta will hold its shape and texture when mixed with sauce. Plus, overcooked pasta is just mushy and unappetizing.

3) Salt the water just when it starts to boil, right before adding the pasta. Use about 1-2 tablespoons of salt per quart of water. Salting the water will not only add flavor to the pasta, but it will also help to season it evenly.

Of course now you no longer have any excuse to make it wrong, pal. You're ready to cook up a delicious bowl of pasta! 🤤

TRUFFLES

Truffles are one of the most highly prized, luxury ingredient in the culinary world. They are often used in high-end restaurants and gourmet dishes, and their inclusion can significantly increase the value of a dish. 💰

This is due by their natural rarity, their short seasonality and their extremely labor-intensive harvesting that requires time and patience.

But, on top of that, for another very simple reason: they have a unique and intense flavor, almost impossible to replicate. Their complex and earthy aroma is often described as musky, nutty, and slightly sweet, with a pungent and lingering aftertaste that can enhance the taste of many dishes. 😋

We used truffles to spice up our incredible, mouthwatering

Ready to give it a try? 😏

CARNAROLI RICE

Carnaroli rice is a short-grain Italian rice variety named after the town of Carnaroli in the Piedmont region of Italy, where it was first developed in the early 20th century.

Carnaroli rice is characterized by its plump, pearl-like grains that are high in amylose starch, which helps it absorb liquids and flavors without breaking down during the cooking process. This makes it ideal for making risotto because it produces a creamy and velvety texture, while still retaining a slightly firm bite. 🥘

Compared to other Italian rice varieties, Carnaroli rice has a higher starch content, which gives it a superior flavor and texture when cooked. It is also more expensive than other varieties, but its quality and consistency make it a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike. 👨‍🍳

For our meal kits we chose the unbeatable Riserva San Massimo’s Carnaroli Rice. Give it a try: we’ll be waiting for your gratitude! 😚

BUCATINI E LINGUINE DI GRAGNANO I.G.P.

Pasta di Gragnano is an incredible quality pasta because of its unique characteristics that set it apart from regular, common pasta.

First of all, Gragnano is a small town near Naples. Pasta, to be “di Gragnano” has to possess a PDO (I.G.P.) certification that ensures that it’s been produced there, thus respecting a series of authenticity requirements. 🧐

For our meal kits we chose a superior, extreme quality bucatini and linguine di Gragnano, from an incredible local producer: Pastificio dei Campi.

If you’re willing to try some real, authentic Italian pasta, get ready because you won’t find ANY BETTER anywhere in the US! ✨

ANCHOVIES

Anchovies are small fish from temperate waters such as those of the Mediterranean Sea. 🐟

They’re mostly used as a seasoning or garnish due to their unique salty, umami, flavors. They are indeed capable to add a twist when melted in a sauce, and their rich taste is the reason why you can find anchovies in quite a number or dishes, from pasta, pizza to tasty soups. 🤩

The best way to make the most out of anchovies is balance. Their salty and fishy meat, when correctly weighed, provides flavour and savoury to the dish, sometimes replacing any added salt.

Italians from the South literally LOVE them! 🔥

PECORINO ROMANO

Pecorino Romano is the worldwide famous sheep cheese commonly used in all the most iconic dishes in Rome. 🐑

The history of this incredible meal kit’s ingredient goes back for thousand years, and its name comes from the fact that the cheese was the main nourishment for the Roman army. It’s mainly produced in Italy, and mostly in the island of Sardinia.

Its taste is a rather salty and strong delight. 😋

Its flavors and texture vary accordingly to its ageing time. Therefore, a perfect cacio e pepe needs a pecorino romano of a specific ageing process and quality. We'll keep guarding that secret no matter what! 😎

SAFFRON

Frequently named Red Gold, saffron is one of the world’s most precious and priciest spices. Its rarity and expensiveness are due to several reasons. 👑

The main one is harvesting: it takes more than 40 hours of labour and 75000 flowers to collect just one pound of the spice. 🤯

You can use just one small part of the flower, and it requires warm climates and sunlight. It flowers only during October and November, and it’s produced almost only in Italy, Spain and Iran.

Saffron is obviously the ingredient that makes risotto alla milanese so special!

Its charming colour, aroma and aphrodisiac properties are the luxurious key for any romantic date’s success. Prove us wrong! 😏

Now you’ve set the dinnerware and created the coziest atmosphere with proper lighting and maybe some nice candles. You set the table with care, and made sure that plates, glasses, and flatware are arranged symmetrically. 🧐

It’s time then for the final touches.

Here’s the part where you can customize your dinner experience by making it more personal. You can express yourself and your unique personality, or you may decide to focus on your guest and on what may be a pleasant surprise for them.

You can add, for example, some fresh flowers or greenery. Those can add a natural, romantic touch to the table. Choose some that complement the colors of your dinnerware and tablecloth. 🌹

Always pay attention to the details. You can fold the napkins into elegant shapes, or use place card holders to personalize the table.

Be yourself but don’t forget to consider your guest’s preferences! 🤩
