 It is embarrassing to admit that twenty-five year old woman of Italian descent, but I have never seen The Godfather, until yesterday evening, that is. For many years, it has come to my attention that this is one of my serious shortcomings as a human being. As the time went, I knew that I would need to put on a real God father festivity to appease the classic film gods and Italians, I know that the celebrations: food. So, in order to compensate, I did most crucial Italian-American dish I could imagine: spaghetti and meatballs.

Traditional spaghetti and meatballs are made with three kinds of meat, beef, pork, and parmesan cheese. This, of course, not gel in the vegan diet. Faux meat products are divided into two categories: “look” and “tastes like.” Well, these meatballs hit the jackpot and achieve both, all without having to send me in my typical Italian food coma. This recipe is so good that it makes an offer to veganism can not refuse. In order to make it special, I did also my favorite tomato sauce, a recipe from the iconic Hamptons restaurant Nick and Toni ‘s. This sauce a little advance preparation demands, but it has a avdragets consistency and flavour that enhances everything it touches deep.

To round out the meal, served In a red wine purchased on my last trip to Sonoma. My best friend Jonas and I stayed at the Mayo family Winery, drawn by the sign of a wine and food pairing menu. Unfortunately had the kitchen closed ten minutes early. Chef Max Porter-Elliot could probably know our desperation and was kind enough to give us a plate with bread, I fell on sommarlandskapet. It was our last stop of the day, we almost lasted two hours, chat with Max and later his girlfriend, commercial restaurant recommendations with other couple in the bar. Open the bottle once again pleased to 2005 Meritage my experience at Mayo and added another level of enjoyment to the meal.

So having had a wonderful experience with The God the father, I was contemplating whether should look at the whole trilogy. Maybe this post a three part homage to the films via food. This will hopefully inspire you to have an Italian dinner and a movie night own!

One of the greatest pleasures of my life are food, and my favorite meal is a huge bowl of pasta. There is something so nutritious and facilitate about threats and filling pasta with a variety of accompaniments. Pasta can often feel like an indulgence, because so many Italian restaurants rely on cream and meat based sauces. You can get half of your daily calories in lunch only say Pasta Pomodoro, or The Olive Garden. But it needs to be so. Pasta, especially of whole grain variety, can be a good source of fiber, and a willing because of slow simmered sauce full of delicious and wholesome ingredients.

This pasta dish was taken from my favorite food blog, the kitchen, who borrowed from New York Magazine, which presented the ultimate carbo-load of New York City Marathon runners. Don’t let this stop you. This pasta can be loaded with carbs, which is good for you, but also lean sources of protein in the chickpeas and lots of flavour from tomatoes and basil. Different textures, gives a unique satisfaction that I could not get enough of this was so good that I ate leftovers for breakfast the next morning. The original recipe calls for pancetta and parmesan, which I happily be omitted, and my own substitution of whole grain spaghetti, moved over this dish from a decadent into wholly virtuous. This weekend, if it is cold and rainy (or snowy) where you are, therefore, this dish a try. You will love it!
