Here is a quick recipe from my nonna. You will need 4 large potatoes, 4 eggs, 6 roma tomatoes, 1 onion, olive oil, oregano and salt. Boil or bake the potatoes with the skin on until tender. In a separate pot hard boil the eggs. Cool and peel the potatoes, cut them in small chunks and put them in a bowl. Cool and peel the an hard boiled eggs, cut each in 4 pieces and add them to the bowl with the potatoes. Wash and cut the tomatoes and add them to the bowl. Slice and add the onion. Pour 6 tablespoons of olive oil on the potatoes, eggs, tomatoes and onion add salt and oregano to taste and mix all the ingredients throughly. Chill for an hour and enjoy. <br>You can also eat this "salad" warm. Once you are done mixing the ingredients pour everything in a skillet with high sides and cook for a few minutes until warm. Pour the warm "salad" in a serving bowl and enjoy.

Pasta alla Corte d'Assise so named after the Italian Corte d’Assise (Court of Assizes), composed of two professional judges (Giudici Togati) and six lay judges (Giudici Popolari), selected by the people. This court has jurisdiction to judge the most serious crimes, (except for cases involving attempted murder), and impose the corresponding penalties, which can include handing out life sentences.<br><br>This dish is said to have originated in Reggio, Calabria in 1958. According to legend, it was created at the Hotel Restaurant Da Rocco (now known as the Hotel Kennedy). The restaurant’s young and spirited chef named Gaetano, was asked to prepare the house specialty as lunch for a well known-known judge and his staff who were dining there after a court hearing. As chef Gaetano didn’t have a particular signature dish, he quickly invented for them spaghetti in a spicy tomato sauce; a dish they enjoyed so much, that he was<br>asked for an encore.<br><br>Once satiated, the judge inquired as to the name of this spicy plate. Chef Gaetano having just invented it, replied that the dish had yet to be christened. Upon hearing this, the judge decided to name it after the court for which he presided, the Corte d’Assise, which much like the heat of the pepperoncino on the taste buds, could be rather severe. And so, over 65 years later the Spaghetti alla Corte d’Assise continues to be the much talked about dish of the Club Hotel Kennedy but a typical dish of the regional<br>cuisine

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFJAlIhlyJs&t=400">6:40</a> Police officers, firemen, paramedics etc. have a lot of hours waiting for calls, but they also make easy and quick food while on duty, so they increase the chances of actually being able to eat it before they are called out on duty!!!

My mom would make something she called shells. She would use shell shaped pasta, tomato sauce, and add potatoes. I always thought she made it to fill us kids up. I never thought it would be an actual recipe.

Everything Eva cooks is with her hands and her heart, you can see the passion for it in her eyes! The dishes are very simple, not fussy and when done her way are spectacular. I’m sure many Pasta Grammarians love that “ Calabrian touch” and the “Eva charm” she adds! Ciao!

Its nice to see her slicing food over the pan, instead of chopping all the time. Reminds me of the old school cooks I grew up with.

In order to stay out of trouble with Italians when you change a recipe, you need to give it a new name....

The way Eva cuts vegetables directly in her hands (without using a board) is sooo Italian indeed. That's how my mother used to do it too. And I think my mother learnt these ways from her Italian grandmother. I always tried to get her to use the board, for the sake of security. But she never went for it.
