Lemony Asparagus Ricotta Pasta with Mint and Basil Lemony Asparagus Ricotta Pasta with Mint and Basil

Hello March! Asparagus and lemons are on sale everywhere and I have a ONE POT PASTA MEAL for you! 

The chunks of soft fresh ricotta are stirred at the end, so it doesn’t melt, and you are left with gooey cheesy pockets. The bite of asparagus and taste of zesty lemon with a hint of mint and basil leave your palate guessing for more. 

☑️SAVE AND MAKE THIS WEEK!

Story: Mangia! Mangia! ❤️In Italy, if we aren Story: Mangia! Mangia!

❤️In Italy, if we aren’t eating, we are  probably talking about eating. 

Mangia! (verb: mangiare)
Pronounced: man-juh
Definition: "eat up!!"
Yes, you literally say it with exclamation points with your hands in the air.

❤️No matter how old you are, Italians (not just nonna, but the entire family) will encourage you to eat more of everything at the table when you dine with them. It’s an honor to serve YOU more! 

❤️Last Sunday while eating dinner at my mamma’s (now the nonna of the family) I counted the word “MANGIA” said 15 times at the dinner table! This is nothing out of the ordinary for a typical meal. 
“Dai, mangia!” Come on, eat!
“Mangia che ti fa bene!” Eat because it’s good for you!
“Mamma mia! Mangia!” My goodness!! Eat! 

❤️These are a few of the phrases we use. I find myself saying these to my children as my mother also tells them, as she once told me (and still does), as my aunts/uncles/grandparents told my cousins and me, as my mother’s Nonna once told her. 

❤️It’s a word that runs deep in our veins and culture. It transcends barriers of bad moods, toddler tantrums, and teenage rage. It centers the mood back to the food, the table, THE FAMILY. La famiglia. 

❤️ MAMA MIA MANGIA!!! is a phrase that sticks with me as I think of all the dinners with my familigia then and now. As I share recipes and stories with all of YOU I hope to bring new recipes to your table and give you a reason to say- MANGIA! MANGIA! 

Written with Amore,
Elena ❤️

What is the difference between pre grated cheese a What is the difference between pre grated cheese and cheese by the block?

The answer is simple: freshness in the final product! Pre-shredded cheese certainly has its convenience but as often is the case convenience comes with trade-offs.

Pre-grated cheese contains preservatives like potato starch and natamycin, meant to keep the shreds from clumping together in the bag. That also means they don’t melt together as well when cooking. 

Freshly grated cheese lacks those additives so your Pasta Carbonara will turn out less clumpy and more smooth. 

Have you ever added pre shredded cheese to a recipe and it turns into a clumpy mess? This could be part of the problem.
