Collage al Limone
Pasta in all her Beauty
Draw from memory all kind of pasta you can think of - long, short, shaped as shells or butterflies, little stars or dots.
You can make pasta with only two colours. I am using Caran d’ache neocolori 2 jaune Sahara 521 and ocre 035.
With the same colours you can draw lemons and Spaghetti al Limone which includes 🌶️, mint, lemons, olive oil, garlic and capers.
To draw this recipe you need three more colours: vermillon 060, olive clair 40% 245, olive foncé 249.
Use the same red for tomato sauce in Farfalle al Pomodoro, which includes some zucchini, thyme and garlic. Parmigiano is the cheese to choose on top.
Add some blue for Mediterranean dishes.
My favourite childhood pasta is very simple, called Kus Kus, just ordinary semolina mini tiny dot pasta with butter and white cheese. This snowy white cheese, which some people call feta, I call it сирене (sirene)
Don’t stick to your sketches. The mini, tiny dot pasta could be also mini, tiny stars instead. But don’t skip on sketching. Making collages is sometimes exhausting, but sketches are playful, a way to put your ideas quickly on paper.
The cooking world is circling around White Cheese. It’s perfect in every occasion: soup, fresh baked bread with tomatoes on summer afternoons. Not to mention water melon with white cheese.
Speaking of summer and soup in one sentence there is nothing more beloved and refreshing than cold yoghurt soup with cucumber, garlic, dill, walnuts (optional), water, salt and sunflower oil. It is called таратор (tarator).
There is a matching yoghurt drink too, called айрян (airian). It is made from yoghurt, water and salt. Highly recommended to cakes. On a side note a miracle in case of hangovers or headaches.
Fresh lemonade made from lemon juice and sugar (use honey for better consciousness) is the other incredible drink from my childhood.
After a trip to Sicily, lemon juice, sparkling water and a pinch of salt became my absolute favourite summer drink (Seltz Limone e Sale).
The goal is to stay hydrated in the summer days. Use all tricks to make water magically appealing.
Decorate your sparkling water with thyme, lime blossoms (Tilia), mint, cucumber and lemon slices.
Change the colour palette from green, yellow to orange, red, yellow by adding berries to the water. Dropping frozen raspberries in sparkling water is meditation pure.

collage gnocchi
Do you prefer like me to cook together vegetables of the same colour? There might be also other reasons the carrots are not invited in this post, like my girls asking me to pick every single orange piece of carrot from their plates…Anyway the ingredients are gnocchi, sage, butter, salt and rosemary for GNOCCHI WITH SAGE BUTTER.

P.S.
If you are curious about the stars I drew here and there, here is the explanation:
*this is written with Cyrillic letters, even if you might think it is written with Latin letters. Some letters look alike, but are completely different. Tricky - I know.
**this is written with Latin letters and it shows my attempt of how this could be pronounced.
Wow. This is the account I didn't lnow I needed. So lovely and cute ❤️.
So lovely :)
