pasta

Although pappardelle pasta is traditionally cooked with heavy cream and rich boar or hare sauces, I allowed myself to cook a quick, light and very flavorful meal.

Pelmeni are the Russian equivalent of the Italian ravioli and the Chinese dumplings. Actually, almost every cuisine has it's version of dough balls stuffed with sweet or savory filling. The word pelmeni literary means "ear bread." Back in the days, peasant women in Siberia used to make hundreds of pelmeni, stuff them into canvas bags, and hang them outside to freeze.

It is fairly easy to find baby spinach on the market, these days. Today, I will show you how to quickly prepare a delicious light pasta meal.

Wash the spinach well and sauté it briefly with the olive oil until it gets soft. Make sure you do not overcook it. Remove it from the stove to cool down.
