Spaghetti Bolognese – Vegetarian version

Feb 14th, 2010 | By Tobias | Category: Pasta & Gnocchi, Recipes

Was mich an der griechischen Fastenküche so begeistert ist, daß sie recht modern ist. Nicht daß Spaghetti Bolognese eine neue Erfindung wäre, aber die Verwendung von Bio-Sojagranulat, zu der die Authorin des Klosterküche Kochbuchs rät, ist eine sehr Zeitgemäße Zutat. Dieser Sugho ist ausgesprochen schmackhaft und Fleisch fehlt einem hierbei wirklich nicht. Den Käse habe [...]

My neighbour Ms. Roula [...]



Linguine with Scampi

May 27th, 2009 | By Tobias | Category: Fish, Pasta & Gnocchi, Recipes

My trip to the central fish market at Athina’s Street was successful and I returned with a nice and fresh piece of tuna fish and some great looking scampi. I like scampi on the grill but I as well love them in combination with pasta, preferably linguine. When combining scampi with pasta, the essential thing [...]
