Some excellent fish ravioli tasted in Lavagna

Degli ottimi ravioli di pesce gustati a Lavagna

Some excellent fish ravioli tasted in Lavagna.
Some time ago, being in Lavagna at lunchtime with my wife, we decided to stop to eat in one of the various trattorias and taverns in the center of the Tigullian town.
The choice was the Trattoria U Pescou where I ordered this plate of excellent fish ravioli with fish sauce.

Cold canapés for a cocktail on a cruise

Canapè freddi per un cocktail in crociera

Cold canapés for a cocktail on a cruise.
Sometimes, when there is a special occasion or event (such as a cocktail party or a small party), canapés are prepared on the ship for an aperitif.
Passengers can purchase this service on board.
Over the years, they have also changed in appearance: I remember that once they were canapés or volován while now they are much more elaborate. Only the raw ham rolled on a breadstick remains.
I almost forgot: a Costa cruise, of course!

Have you ever tasted one of these canapés?

A canapé (from the French canapé and the medieval Latin canapeum, a corruption of the class conopēum, conopeo) is a small appetizer placed or spread on slices of crustless bread that are usually first spread with butter and also previously grilled. It is usually carefully prepared and very decorative in appearance, separated into slices and often eaten in a single bite.

Fried egg with black truffle

L'uovo fritto al trartufo nero

Fried egg with black truffle.
One of the simplest dishes that can be made with truffle is definitely the fried egg (sunny side up) sprinkled with truffle (in this case black summer truffle) and nothing more.
I don't think there's any need to write the recipe for it because it's incredibly simple.

Some species of truffle are an extremely valuable, sought-after and expensive food essence; other species are instead considered of little value or, sometimes, even slightly toxic. In any case, truffles give off a typical penetrating and persistent scent that develops only when ripe and that has the purpose of attracting wild animals (pigs, wild boars, badgers, dormice, foxes), despite the earth cover, to spread the spores contained and perpetuate the species. These hypogeal fruits are identified with the help of dogs, or pigs, and collected by hand.

Chestnut flour trofie with pesto

Le trofie di farina di castagne con il pesto alla genovese

Le trofie di farina di castagne con il pesto alla genovese.
Ovviamente, da buon ligure, uno dei miei piatti preferiti è la pasta condita con il pesto (di basilico).
Quando poi ho a disposizione anche le trofie impastate con la farina di castagne il piatto risulta ancora più buono.

There is a type of trofie kneaded with chestnut flour called “bastard” trofie, which has a sweeter taste than normal or white trofie. You can also mix white trofie with chestnut trofie to give a delicate taste to the dish. In addition to pesto, trofie bastarde can be seasoned with walnut sauce.

Cuttlefish ink tagliatelle with sea bream ragù

Tagliatelle al nero di seppia con ragù di orata

Tagliatelle with squid ink and sea bream ragù.
For some time now I have been enjoying making fresh pasta flavored with squid ink. I love making tortelli with sea bream filling and with the pasta scraps that are left over I always make tagliatelle.
I dressed these with a sauce prepared with a bit of the same filling that I used for the tortelli.
A fine and very tasty dish.

Gnocchi with clam sauce tasted in Sergio's

Gnocchi al sugo di vongole gustati da Sergio

Gnocchi with clam sauce enjoyed Sergio's.
When, with the family, we want to eat fish, without breaking the bank but eating good things, we go to Osteria da Sergio (in the Lapide area of ​​Sestri Levante).
This is the dish that my sister almost always chooses: the gnocchi, however, are seasoned with clam sauce.
Very good!
