About me:
I am 36 years old and have lived all over the US from Hawaii to the east coast. Seven years ago when I was in the Air Force I was stationed in norhtern Italy, and I've never left! I now call Budoia, a little town at the bottom of the Dolomiti mountains, home. Budoia is on the western edge of the Friuli region, land of polenta, which borders Slovenia and Austria on the east, and the Veneto region of Italy on the west. I have always liked to cook, and in the time that I have been here, have learned the basics of Italian cooking from my fiance Mario, his family, and my 76 year old next door neighbor who still makes about 100 pizzas everyday in the Pizzeria she owns in Venice!

Amazing Spicy Grilled Shrimp

Reviewed on Oct. 3, 2008 by VillaViola
OMGosh! Truly an amazing recipe! I couldn't find asian chile paste so I just omitted it. I also read to add the lemon for the last 30 minutes of the marination to keep the shrimp from getting tough. So I did that plus I followed the grilling time to the second and the shrimp were wonderfully tender and so so flavorful. I used Tabasco for my hot sauce and the amount of spice was perfect. Really really good recipe!

Spaghetti Pie III

Reviewed on Oct. 1, 2008 by VillaViola
The final product was not bad, but needs some tweaking in my opinion. I used a 9x13 (or very close to it) baking dish as suggested and the layer of spaghetti was almost an inch thick! The sour cream and cream cheese mixture just barely covered the spaghetti which surprised me. The photo of this recipe makes it looks like the cheese layer was much thicker! Anyway, I did follow some previous reviewers' suggestions for modifications which were: add an egg and grated parmigiano to the spaghetti, cook the meat with chopped onion and garlic. The rest I did following the recipe exactly. Changes I will try next time: Use 1/2-3/4 lb of spaghetti (instead of 1lb), use 1 cup of s. cream (instead of 3/4 cup), use the whole 8oz package of c. cheese (instead of 1/2 package). One question for those that followed the recipe and DID NOT add anything to the spaghetti, does the spaghetti come out crispy? It didn't when egg and parmigiano was added, and I think I would have liked it crispy better.

Corned Beef and Cabbage I

Reviewed on Sep. 29, 2008 by VillaViola
I have made this twice, both times using a previous reviewers suggestion of cooking the ingredients in beer instead of water. What a great idea! I use 4-6 bottles of a German hefeweizen, and add enough water to finish covering the meat. It's pretty easy to prepare and serve, but still not my favorite dish, it's a little bland. I ended up using a lot of fancy gourmet mustard on the portions I ate to spice up the flavor. But that's just my preference.
