A delicate recipe marrying the creamy Arborio rice with the sweet flavor of lima beans, also known as butter beans. Fresh shelled lima beans are found easily in European markets by late summer and fall. They are more difficult to obtain in the US. Frozen lima beans are a good alternative and are available all year round.
A tasty dish made with simple ingredients. I serve it with a nice crusty bread and a glass of wine. All’arrabbiata means “fiery style”, named as such due to the heat of the peppers.
A great meal that is easily thrown together in a couple of minutes. A perfect pick me up after a hard day’s work. Light, easy and an ideal treat for when you don’t feel like cooking. 15 minutes is all it takes.
I had this dish in Italy last summer and loved it. What an ingenious recipe! An enticing way to prepare a humble vegetable into something utterly delicious. Good quality bacon or pancetta pays off in this recipe.
Pasta con Rucola e Acciughe is one of my favorites for a quick and tasty dinner. If you have no inspiration after a hard day in the office – this dish always works.
