At home we adore pasta, so when I saw this recipe for conchiglioni stuffed with shrimp and ricotta I didn’t hesitate to make it. The result of this stuffed pasta was a success, something I had no doubts about before making it. The filling of these conchiglioni is delicious, the béchamel sauce that accompanies them pairs wonderfully, and the gratin turns this pasta dish into a celebration.

This recipe for turbot on the griddle with fennel and lemon is the best example of "less is more." Both in the number of ingredients it uses and in how it’s cooked.

A dish with Mediterranean aroma and flavor, in which the turbot takes center stage.

Yes, I know it's summer and it's hot. I also know that just thinking about turning on the oven makes you want to fan yourself, but I assure you that when you try this roasted onion and garlic focaccia you'll forget the 250º C temperature it needs to bake at, because you'll want to make it again at the earliest opportunity. That's why I wanted to share this recipe today, despite being in the middle of a heat wave.

When I discovered this recipe, I knew everyone at home would be excited. From choosing the ingredients to the last bite, we all enjoyed it like little kids.

One of the things I find most fascinating about pasta is that it offers a huge range of possibilities. I believe there isn’t a single ingredient that can’t be paired in one way or another with some type of pasta. Even white chocolate! But today I’m sticking with something more traditional, both for the pasta and the sauce: a plate of penne all'arrabbiata that, even when the heat is on, tastes wonderful to me.

Today I invite you to make a recipe I love: a chicken stew with corn and a creamy sauce. I find it a truly delicious way to cook chicken breasts. They turn out great and very appetizing. The corn is a perfect companion for the chicken and, together with the slices of chili and the lime juice, adds a touch of Mexican flavor, ideal for rounding out the dish.

If cooking is an act of love, making desserts like this strawberry sponge cake with a crème brûlée topping or burnt cream is, without a doubt, the sweetest expression of that love.
