Cosa mangiare tra Natale e Capodanno: 5 ricette semplici e "di casa"

What to eat between Christmas and New Year's: 5 simple, home-cooked recipes

Once the grand Christmas tables are over, the days leading up to New Year's Eve have a different rhythm. We crave comforting dishes, less elaborate than the grand dinners, but still capable of pampering us. It's time for quality comfort food.

Here are 5 quick ideas for using our specialties creatively and making these relaxing days special.

1. The "Day After" Spaghetti with Butter and Truffles

After the rich Christmas sauces, the palate seeks simplicity.

  • The idea: Cook some spaghetti al dente and sauté it in a pan with just a generous spoonful of our Lina Sapori e Delizie Truffle Butter and a ladle of the cooking water to create an emulsion.

  • Why it works: It's the height of elegance with minimal effort. White, fragrant, and invigorating.

2. Recovery Crostoni with Lina's Red Sauce

Do you have leftover boiled meat, roast meat, or cheese on your cutting board?

  • The idea: Toast some slices of bread, spread generously with Lina's Salsa Rossa (the one with peppers, carrots, celery and that sweet and sour touch) and add your thinly sliced ​​leftovers on top.

  • Why it works: The sauce's vibrancy "ignites" the flavors of yesterday's dishes, transforming them into a gourmet aperitif.

3. The Fried Egg that Tastes of the Forest

When you don't feel like cooking, the egg is the king of the table.

  • The idea: Cook a fried egg (or poached) and, as soon as you put it on the plate, place a teaspoon of our Lina Sapori e Delizie Royal Truffle Sauce on the still warm yolk.

  • Why it works: The heat of the egg instantly releases the aroma of truffle. A humble dish made fit for a king.

4. Creamy Potato Soup with Parmesan and Truffle Cream

To "cleanse" the palate with something warm and creamy.

  • The idea: Make a simple potato or pumpkin soup. Before serving, stir in a spoonful of our Parmigiano Reggiano and Truffle Sauce .

  • Why it works: The sauce melts into the soup, giving it a deep, noble flavor, without the need for cream.

5. The House Dessert: Zabaglione "Corretto" with Blueberry

We close the evenings in front of a film or a board game with a timeless classic, made unique by our liqueurs.

The Quick Recipe:

  1. In a small saucepan over a bain-marie, whisk 2 egg yolks with 2 tablespoons of sugar until light and fluffy.

  2. Gradually add 2 eggshells filled with our Lina Sapori e Delizie Blueberry Liqueur (or Fragolino for a sweeter taste).

  3. Continue whisking until the cream thickens and becomes velvety.

  4. Serve it warm in a cup, accompanied by some dry biscuits.

  • Why it works: A touch of our liqueur replaces the classic Marsala, giving the zabaglione a unique color and an irresistible fruity note.

A little secret...

These days are made for slowing down. You don't need hours in the kitchen to eat well: all you need is a good ingredient, some bread, and the right company.
