Creamy Miso Spaghetti
Over in Japan, a genre of cooking called “wafu” (meaning Japanese style) has made its way to the west. Quite often they are Italian dishes cooked with a Japanese approach or combining Asian and Italian ingredients.

Mushroom Kritharotto
I’ve wrote about/shared a dish called kritharotto – it’s basically cooking kritharaki (Greek orzo) in the style of risotto. Ladles of stock are added to the pan with the pasta as it gets absorbed – giving one a creamy finish to the dish.
Tsouchti Pasta with an Egg on Top
A few years ago I visited the Mani region of the Peloponnese with it’s traditional Maniot towers, rugged terrain.
Lasagna Bolognese
I am still on “team bechamel” when it comes to lasagnas as opposed to ricotta. The bechamel allows one to pre-make a lasagna, make/freeze/bake or enjoy a moist lasagna the next day without it drying out.
