Foodtopia Moments

We had limited time for lunch today, but I managed to whip up something delicious. I took a cipolla (onion), pomodorini (little tomatoes), basilico (basil), patate (potatoes – three fingerling), and zucchini chopped them all into small cubes, and cooked them in some olio di olive (olive oil). Then I boiled some ditalini pasta, and once they were cooked and drained, I added them to the veggies. The result was light and delicious. For a meat, I used a feta di tachino (turkey cutlet) and cooked it in olive oil and lemon juice over a bed of rosemary. Basically the turkey did not directly hit the pan, but kind of steamed in the rosemary, lemon juice and olive oil. Add in a little sale marino (sea salt), and the result was delicious bite after bite.
