Pear and Gorgonzola Focaccia

The pear and gorgonzola focaccia is one of the most unique and delicious recipes I've tried recently: a bold but irresistible combination of the sweetness of pears and the intense flavor of gorgonzola, with a crunchy note of walnuts. Don't be intimidated by the unusual combination (unusual, yes, but now quite common): I assure you that from the first bite, this focaccia will win over even the most traditional palates! Perfect for surprising guests during an aperitif, a casual dinner, or as a vegetarian main course alongside a beautiful salad. If you don't like gorgonzola, you can substitute it with milder cheeses, such as taleggio or brie, for a less intense but still very tasty version!

Tomato Gnocchi

Have you ever tried making gnocchi without potatoes? Usually, they are made with water and flour and are called 'cavatelli'. These tomato gnocchi, however, are made with only two ingredients: flour and tomato puree. No eggs, no potatoes, no long waits. Just a dough to knead, cut directly into boiling water... and that's it!
