Here's a spinning one.
Make homemade pasta is easy, cheap and fun. It is by the way a recipe that is made throughout Italy (of course who knows really do have a few people, most buy the dough already made).
The flour to use is that of semolina, flour using a different result might not be good.
In this recipe, you can not give precise doses because they vary greatly depending on the weather is wet or dry.
But in principle prepared 400 g of flour, 6 eggs and salt.

Little secret: if you have the spelled flour, you may use a small amount (a handful of flour for example 400 g), so that the dough will be slightly difficult to work but will become easier after.

Make a pile of flour on your kitchen table (you can find plastic or wood), http://img.misya.info/Misya2/2008/11/pasta-fresca-alluovo1.jpg,
At the center make a hole and started to put 3-4 egg yolks.
put 1 teaspoon of salt.
Begin to knead, if the dough is too dry, add a yolk, if the dough is wet knead until it dries.
Keep it up .... if you end the yolks, add the whites even a little 'time, however, you have a little' patience and knead.
You have to get a smooth paste (similar to the pose).
Make a kind of ball, put it in a film and then in the fridge for an hour.
Pull off the ball, pick a piece and roll it with a rolling pin. If you have the car to roll out the dough with a rolling pin is better because it takes a lot of patience.
To keep it from sticking put the flour in a pan.
Now you have to decide what to do. If you want to do lasagna for example you have to cut the rectangles all equal.
If you want the noodles strips all the same (or more or less the same).
If you want the badly cut can cut all different stripes.
If you want agnolotti squares. then put inside the square of the ground meat and breadcrumbs and ricoprirete with another square, and will close with a fork.
Well now since I promised the lasagna I will discuss how to make lasagna.
Now that you have the dough (this is the name squares of pasta), you must get the tomato sauce (not ketckup, it is important that both tomato sauce), cooked ham, mozzarella (is important), cheese ( the best is the parmesan cheese (true though, otherwise you might as well use the pecorino)), extra virgin olive oil.
prepared a pot of water, boil it and add a teaspoon of salt, put us immediately after the paste. Wait a few minutes for fresh pasta bake, (it takes about 5 minutes but it depends on how thick flour and pasta).
Taste it to see if it is cooked. Remember not to overcook ... it's hard for me to explain how to tell when the pasta is cooked but know that tasting it should not be too soft. In this case, better to cook it a bit 'less because the lasagna cook after a little' in the oven.

Prepare a baking sheet and make a layer of pasta, put the sauce and the mozzarella into pieces, then make another layer of dough over the sauce, make a layer of sauce and ham, then another layer of pasta, then a layer of sauce , mozzarella and grated cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.

Put in the oven for about one hour in an oven preheated to 150 ° C.
The lasagna is ready when it has a crust but check occasionally cooking tasting.

I don't... get it... I'm afraid ^^"

Google translate says that leek is poireau, though I'm not sure if that is correct or not. And as for the spinning leak, that's an old internet classic.
For pizza procedure is about the same. There are two differences:
1. the flour must be Type 0 with only a 0.
2. add the yeast to make the dough rise, and we will not put the eggs. to wet the dough you'll then water and yeast.
After having worked the dough must be leavened, rises more the better. at least 2 hours, up to 2 days.

The pizza once you have the dough is very simple.
the roll (also square), put the tomato sauce (again not ketckup tomato sauce), mozzarella, and cooked, a dash of olive oil.
Unfortunately, to make good the pizza takes a wood oven, but you can do it in the oven at home (although it will not be the same thing) ... But you can fix with a baking stone.
220 ° C for about 10 minutes and should be ready.

Of course you can use all the ingredients that you want on the pizza ...
I for example like the one with ham and pizza bismark.
Practically daisy I have described is the pizza base (but there are also many who do not use tomato sauce or cheese even if they use all the pizzas classic tomato sauce and mozzarella as a minimum).

Without mozzarella you cannot make a real pizza.

Oh, okay ! ^^
Thanks for explanations :)
Yes that's this, a "poireau" ! I confirm after some reseasrch !
=============================
Broccoli Salad
=============================

Ingredients:

Salad:
_ 1 broccoli
_ 1-2 tomatoes
_ 0.5-1 red onion
_ A bunch of seedless grapes OR a handful of seedless raisins OR a handfull of seedless cranberries. I don't measure those just take the amount which looks right.
_ A handful of almonds or pine nuts. If almonds, I cut them into smaller pine-nut-sized bits. Again I don't take a concrete measurement, just an amount that looks right.
_ 3 or 4 slices of bacon (skip the bacon for a vegetarian option).

Dressing:
_ 3-4 tablespoons of mayonnaise
_ 2 tablespoons of white vinegar OR juice from half a lemon
_ 1.5-2 tablespoons of sugar
_ A pinch of salt.

Instructions:

_ Boil the broccoli for 5 minutes. Remove from boiling water and *immediately* cool it down (put in cold water for 20 secs, remove from water, which should be a bit warm by now, put in new cold water again). Cut it to chunks.
_ Dice the tomatoes and onion.
_ Shallow fry the almonds/pine nuts till crispy brown.
_ Shallow fry the bacon. Dice it.
_ Mix the broccoli, tomatoes, onion, grapes/raisins/cranberries, nuts and bacon.
_ Mix the dressing ingredients. Add to the salad.
_ Put in fridge for 15-20 minutes. Serve.

EDIT:
Fun fact (for Polish speakers):
The word is spelled "brokuł" and not "brokół" despite being derived from Italian broccolo. Also, despite its frequent usage, the feminine form "ta brokuła" is incorrect, the only correct form being masculine "ten brokuł".

Coelocanth: ROASTED SQUASH SOUP
Nice one! I have a Butternut Bisque recipe as well. Great cold-weather dish!
Honey roll over and Lettece.....
Recipe: Use your imagination....
=======
Gulasch
=======

I hope I find the right englsh words for this one. Okay, let`s begin

Ingredients:

500 gramm meat (Pork, Beef or a mix of both)
2 or 3 bell peppers
2 or 4 big onions
3 garlic cloves
20 - 30 gramm sweet paprika powder
200 - 250 milliliters of half-dry wine
some oil (sunflower oil would be good)
a half teaspoon of sugar
2 - 3 teaspoons of wheat flour
If you want it hot you can also use 1 Habanero or 4 - 5 Birds Eye chillies (or even more, if you like it very hot)

How to cook:

Cut the meat in not too big dices, cut onions and garlic into very small pieces. Cut bell pepper into small pieces.
Put some oil into a pot and let it become hot. Put the meat into the pot and fry it untill the water, which came out of the meat, is evaporated. You should stir the meat the whole time. when you see that the bottom of the pot becomes brown (or even black) from the roasted meat, then you should add the onions and the garlic. Fry them untill the water is evaporated and don`t forget to stir! Now add 200 - 250 milliliters of wine and cook, while stirring, until the wine is evaporated.
Now add about 500 milliliters of water, the bellpepper, sweet paprikapowder, sugar, put the lid on the pot and let it cook for 1 - 1 1/2 hours on low, but not very low, heat. Don`t forget to stir from time to time.
After about 1 1/4 hours you can start to check if the gulasch is good. The bell pepper and the onions should be not to be seen anymore and the meat should be extremely soft, you shouldn`t need a knife to cut the meat, a spoon should be enough. You should now add as much sweet paprikapowder that the sauce should look like a vampyres favorite meal! You can now add a bit salt and pepper to it until it meets your taste.
Now take a closable little jar, put about 100 milliliter cold water in it and 2 - 3 teaspons of wheat flour. Close the jar and shake well.
Now sir the water-flour mix under into the gulasch ansd let it cook a bit, this will thicken the sauce.
Now the gulasch is ready to eat. You can serve noodles or potatoes to it. If you like it a little exotic, you can take Sauerkraut, put away the liquid from the Sauerkraut an mix the Sauerkraut under the Gulasch when it`s ready. This is called "Szegediner Gulasch".
Enjoy your meal!

Blueberry Banana Chocolate Smoothie

12oz coconut milk
1 banana (frozen works best)
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp cocoa or cacao powder

Blend on power 7 for 50 seconds or so using a high powered Blender such as Blendtec or Vitamix or similar that can handle being stuffed with frozen fruit without exploding into flames. Optionally you can add a tablespoon of honey if the natural sweetness of the fruit isn't enough for you. Add more frozen blueberries if you wish it to be thicker and more slushie-like.

Very tasty and refreshing smoothie, loaded with electrolytes although I have to warn you you're gonna be shitting black from all the blueberries so don't panic thinking you have cancer. :)

Maxvorstadt: Gulasch
Thanks, that one sounds tasty! I've not had "Szegediner Gulasch", looks like an interesting variation. Cheers!
I don't know about favourite but I just cooked some pork tongues. Recipe from the interwebz.

Very simple, you need:

Pork tongues
Garlic
Bacon

-Peel and slice the garlic
-Rinse the pork tongues and make small cuts in the tongues with a sharp knife
-Insert garlic slices in the cuts
-Wrap the bacon around the tongues tightly
-Then wrap the whole thing in aluminum foil
-Bake in oven, 200C, 2,5 hours

:P

LiefLayer: First, mcleodone asked me the pork fillet Tuscan.
My family is Sicilian Piemontese and then I did not immediately understand what recipe he was talking about ... in fact if he had asked the fiorentina, I knew immediately because the recipe is very famous (though, as there is a need cow called Chianina is very difficult to get out of Tuscany).
The pork fillet still gets across Italy. In particular, the "pork fillet in bread crust" is a Tuscan recipe.
To make this recipe takes the
- Tuscan bread (it is a white bread unsalted, like this http://www.italiadiscovery.it/immagini/news/6987.jpg)
- Alternatively you can make a crust of bread directly starting from flour, water, olive oil, yeast. (but here we would also like the bread recipe).
- a pork fillet 600 g
- 1 clove garlic
- spices (sage, rosemary, pepper, salt)
Prepare the chopped herbs and garlic.
Cut bread,
remove the crumb,
sprinkle your pork tenderloin with all the spices,
enter the pork fillet inside the bread,
coat the bread of bacon,
use the wire to close the whole thing (I suggest to watch a video on youtube to learn to use the wire),
put inside the wire also a branch of rosemary,
put your pork fillet in the oven at 180 ° C, covering the pan for 20 minutes, then discover, and turn the fillet (to cook it on both sides) and cook another 20 minutes.
Let cool at least 10 minutes (to avoid breakage all).
In all Tuscany, however there are many other ways to make the same recipe.
With spices for example, provided they are not spicy, you can use the ones you want (for example, you could use the laurel).
PS. I know my English is not perfect, if you do not understand something please contact me via mp ...

Upcoming recipes, pizza and lasagna.
