Nasi/Bami goreng – Indonesian fried rice/noodles – Indonesische gebratene(r) Reis/Nudeln

↓Deutsch These are typical East Asian fast food dishes, which are often sold at street stalls. It is actually the same dish and can be prepared with cooked rice or soaked wheat noodles. According to my Indonesian cookbook by Sri Owen, Indonesians and Chinese are blaming each other for this recipe, so I suspect that Chinese immigrants to Indonesia have taken their recipe to Indonesia and developed it there using typical Indonesian...

Pasta alla napoletana

↓Deutsch This pasta is with the easiest tomato sauce ever. In Germany often cooked with tons of herbs but that’s not common in Italy. At most, some basil or parsley leaves are added. My individual in this recipe: I use a chili pepper instead of black pepper. 2 servings Ingredients: 140 g spaghetti or linguine 1 small can (450 g) peeled tomatoes 1 onion 2 tablespoons olive oil 6 garlic cloves salt 1 pinch sugar 1 chili pepper (I used a part...

Alpine maccaroni – Älplermaggrone

↓Deutsch There are two versions of this recipe, with and without additional potatoes. Of course, both factions insist on cooking the original recipe. The origin is, as usual, in the dark. I don't know how old the recipe is, it may very well have existed before the potato was introduced to Europe. Therefore, this recipe would be the original. However, advocates of the potato theory place the recipe in the early 19th century and would therefore...

Pasta all’arrabbiata

↓Deutsch Pasta al arrabiata is one of the countless tomato sauces available alongside Napoletana. How the name implies, furious means it is hot. What I did not know until June 2019 is that it does not use pancetta but guanciale (air dried pork cheek). I use Italian canned tomatoes as a basis and like one fresh tomato. For the (light) sharpness I liked to use fresh Thai Birdeye Chiles. We now have Italian dried Pepperoncini. 2 servings...

Spaghetti alla puttanesca

↓Deutsch The origin of the name is unclear. After an anecdotal under various statements it should go back to the fact that prostitutes the dish could simply prepare quick between visits of their suitors. Another one is related to that Italian brothels in the 1950s were ‚casa chiuse‘ closed houses and the prostitutes they were allowed to leave only once a week for shopping. The dish was therefore emerged from the tougher residues in the...

Pasta all’amatriciana – Pasta Amatriciana – Pasta aus Amatrice

↓Deutsch The recipe comes from Amatrice, a village in the Lazio to the border with the Abruzzi. The area was in 2016 again, unfortunately, in all headlines due to the terrible earthquakes, which occur there again and again. To help the population, countless restaurants around the world put the dish on their menu and donated about € 2, – of their proceeds. The origin is a whole family tree of dishes. Let's start with the spaghetti cacio e...

Swabian ravioli in broth with braised onions – Maultaschen in der Brühe mit geschmälzten Zwiebeln

↓Deutsch One of the best-known products of Swabian cuisine is Maultaschen. The name probably originates from the Maulbronn Monastery. Another name for these dumplings is "Herrgottsbescheißer" (God impostor), because the pasta dough surrounding them is supposed to prevent God from detecting the meat filling during Lent. 2 servings Ingredients: 2 Maultaschen (Swabian ravioli) 300 ml broth (beef, chicken, vegetable) 2 tbsp vegetable julienne...

Pasta with wild garlic pesto – Pasta mit Bärlauchpesto

↓Deutsch The Italian classic pesto is usually made with basil. The taste never was my case, so I was pleased to hear the ideas of the same recipe with wild garlic or Tuskan kale. Now is wild garlic time, unfortunately, we haven’t found at the Swabians free growing wild garlic, so we must rely on goods from the supermarket. According to the label it should come from wild plucking and not breeding. 3 servings Ingredients: 3 tablespoons pine...

Pasta con cozze – Pasta with mussels – Pasta mit Miesmuscheln

↓Deutsch As the saying goes, the pasta is not waiting for the sauce but the sauce is waiting for the pasta. Which is not easy with such a delicate food like mussels. So I cooked the tomato sauce first, then heated the pasta water. In the time when the pasta is cooking, I reheated the tomato sauce, added the mussels and turned off the heat. As a result, both the pasta and the sauce were finished at the same time and had to be mixed only after...

Ham noodles – Schinkennudeln

↓Deutsch This was originally a dish to process too much cooked pasta. The youth of today ask, too many cooked noodles, is this possible? I also remember have eaten a pack of Miracoli for 3 servings alone. When you get older, that’s quite impossible. Ok, I cooked macaroni for this dish because there were not any ready made noodles left. There are different variations of the ham pasta, for me fried noodles with ham and eggs are the original...
