One of my favorite pasta dishes!
Oreccheitte pasta (the one that’s looks like little hats) with sweet Italian sausage and broccoli.
This recipe will feed 2 to 4 people. You may substitute any type pasta. I happen to love orecchiette because it brings back great memories of cooking with my Grandmother. It was the pasta she always used for this dish.
=================================================================
Grill or cook in a pan: 2 sweet Italian sausage links (about 1/2 lb). Then slice into bite size pieces.
Prepare 1/2 lb dry pasta by following the instructions on the box but shorten by 2 minutes and reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
In a pan large enough to hold all the ingredients; sauté 4 garlic cloves sliced and broccoli to taste in 1 cup of chicken stock or broth for 5 min. Add the cut up pieces of sausage, pasta and 1/2 cup of pasta water.
Simmer and stir 2 to 3 min on a low heat. This will incorporate all the ingredients and finish cooking the pasta. If necessary add more pasta water. Serve in a bowl and finish with grated Romano cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
You could add black pepper or crushed hot pepper to taste.
Enjoy,
Daniel

I am crazy about burgers! Just like pizza I love all kinds.
1.) Form your beef patty into the shape of the bread you are using. In this case oval and cook to your taste.
2.) Brush olive on both sides of the bread and toast in broiler or on the grill.
3.) In a sauté pan over medium heat — sauté thinly sliced onions, garlic and quartered cherry (or any type tomato), in olive oil. About 10 to 15 min or until everything is nicely cooked.
Then place your cooked burger on the roll and top with the tomato mixture!
I added some crushed red pepper, you can if you like. Provolone also works well as an addition.
It’s really simple and tastes so good. A great alternative to the usual burger and very fast to make!
Enjoy,
Daniel

I love simple easy dishes everyone can relate to and make.
And you will too with these 3 EASY STEPS.
1.) I cut up the cauliflower and toss with some olive oil.
2.) Then I place the cauliflower on a baking sheet.
3.) Roast at 400 degrees for 30 minutes
Great for a snack, side dish or tossed with pasta!
ENJOY!

We had SO much fun last weekend. We wanted to come back and serve up MamaMancini’s Sunday Sauce and Meatballs a second time at Brooklyn Flea Market! The weather was perfect and the people we met were interesting and very supportive! Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth.

“Dear Mr. Mancini:
My 9 year old daughter and I just had your company’s ‘Sunday Sauce and Meatballs’ and she said to me, “Dad, no offense, but these meatballs are better than your meatballs”. I said, “No offense taken!”
So now, I have a challenge to match them!
I really enjoyed them as well as the sauce. I found the product at Acme and they were on sale.”
Best,
Rob K.
