Guess who’s in the kitchen? The boyfriend! I love when he cooks for me… this time he’s making pasta with Italian sausage and zucchini. We are lucky to be able to find zucchini quite easily here so he makes this dish very often. We normally use fresh Italian sausage from our butcher but you can…

My Maltese bragoli with spaghetti
Let’s get back to some Maltese food… this time with my Maltese bragoli with spaghetti! This is one of the most popular dishes here in Malta: some may know it as Beef Olives (although there’s no olives in this dish!). When I first arrives to Malta, I spent just over 1 month living the tourist…

Pasta with lamb meatballs and beans
Pasta is a very common ingredient in my house. We can go without cooking pasta at least every 2 days. And only because I don’t want to eat it everyday. Because if dinner was a boyfriend’s decision, for sure it would be pasta everyday! So the agreement is that I can cook most of the…
