7. Recipes from Italy…

8. Mozzarella “in carrozza” The idea of putting mozzarella between two slices of bread was born to “recycle” its leftovers from other dishes, in Campania. The preparation is very simple: you have to put mozzarella between the slices of bread, then you need to soak them in eggs and milk. The final step is to fry them!

9. Sicilian Cannoli This is the classic dessert coming from the sicilian tradition. A “cannolo” is made from a very crispy fried pasty, filled with ricotta: it’s very important to fill the cannolo just before eating it, because otherwise the pasty would soak up humidity from the cheese and it would lose its crunchiness. After filling it you can add chocolate drops or candied fruits and powdered sugar.
