How we love our trips to the villa we rent in Tuscany in the Fall!
 
Inspired by past visits I created our popular "From Tuscany... with love xo" class from October 2020.
Moving forward to this year,  my weeks there have given rise to a whole new set of recipes to share with you !
Super Tuscan, in case you do not know, refers to a blend of grapes from the region of Tuscany resulting in great wine.
So with respect to this concept, our menu consists of super delights to pay homage to the super wines of Toscana.  
As they say when raising the glass, "Salute!" and enjoy.
 
Our menu:
-Basil and Prosciutto wrapped Burrata Lemons- creamy burrata cheese wrapped with Prosciutto and  scented with fresh basil stuffed lemons baked until cheese melts and becomes creamy.
 
-Homemade Pici pasta with Tuscan Pork Sausage Ragu - Long strands of hand rolled pasta tossed with a savory fennel scented ragu! Get ready to rock and roll the pasta just like the Italian nonnas!
 
-Pollo alla Cacciatore - Chef Nicole at our villa made this delicious chicken inspired by Jamie Oliver and we all loved it- a hunter's stew using chicken thighs it comes together rather quickly and is a great dish to serve for large groups as well.
 
Chocolate Hazelnut Gelato - oh my, creamy gelato made with a rich chocolate hazelnut spread is one of Italy's best treats - your friends and family will love you forever! :)
