Cooking Method: Pan Seared
Spaghetti Carbonara
When I was a child growing up in Italy, I heard this recipe was developed in Rome during WWII to please the American soldiers who were used to bacon and eggs with milk, and the pepper looks like charcoal off the hands of charcoal workers. The Pecorino Romano and spaghetti were local, of course. I've heard other plausible versions that predate the war, but this was the first I heard so I like this one best.
Fish Tacos!
This recipe takes about 15 minutes from fridge to table, and is great with cheap tilapia or leftover fish the next day.
Crab Cakes
These are my original crab cakes! People love them. Real crab is great in these, but in those days I was poor and I think fake crab, surimi, is just as good in this recipe.
