Italian cooking and organic products

In our certified organic farmhouse every product we use is homegrown or purchased from nearby certified organic farms.

The jams, bread, yogurt and the cakes for our breakfasts are home made. For groups larger than 4 people we organize lunches and dinners with a typical Tuscan menu using mainly the products of our organic vegetable garden or seasonal ones. Also the meats as well as the wines and cheeses that we serve, are often purchased from organically certified farms or come from the area.

Spaghetti with garlic and chili peppers

– 400gm spaghetti No. 5

– 2 handfuls of parsley

– 2 cloves of garlic

– chili peppers

Chop the parsley and garlic.  Put in a large pan (not too large about two fingers high), with olive oil and heat the chopped parsley and garlic adding in the chili peppers, but be careful not to burn them.
Cook the spaghetti with a large quantity of salted water.  Drain when it is ‘al dente’- just cooked.   Add it to the fried mixture.  Mix well and serve without adding parmesan cheese.
Simple but tasty.
