Nestled between the slope of Mount Etna and the majestic Mediterranean Sea is where we enjoy the Sicilian Simplicity

Tortelli di ricotta e radicchio in brodo di tacchino
Tortelli with ricotta and Radicchio filling in turkey broth
Yes, we have been busy in the kitchen these past few days... Saturday afternoon I made turkey stock with all my leftover turkey bones. We had just enough to make one more meal with the broth and we decided to make Tortelli.
We began with 300 grams of flour, three eggs, and a drizzle of oil. We've learned that the secret is the fork breaking down the egg... Rule for egg pasta, one egg for every 100 grams.
I lightly cooked down the radicchio and then added ricotta and a spoon of parmigiano.
After all the work, our finished product looked pretty good.
Not to mention how good they tasted!
Hi... I found your blog through another site. It has great information and great recipes. I am moving to Sicily at the end of May. I am getting married to a Navy boy and will be living in a small town that I cant remember right now. Looking forward to more entries from you.
I have been carried away to a world that stops to taste the sweetness of the land, and admire all the treasures that their rich black soil provides. Now my journey begins as we enjoy the simple pleasures of the life! We came from different worlds, spoke different languages, but that didn’t stop us. We have our home in Sicily, and many adventures await us. Sicilia is our home!
Sailing across the Gulf of Mexico, I had the pleasure of meeting the most amazing man. Little did I know that he would eventually become the love of my life and would change my world. We were both working aboard a cruise line at the time. He, an Italian Engineer, and I, the featured headlining Vocalist, met at a crew party and the rest is history. Our beginning... Wedding Pictures...
