Mustard packets

What is the brand of mustard packets that they serve in northern Italy? I remember it saying senape across it in maybe green/red and it was soo good they would serve it with the sausage or pretzel. Wondering if I can get it in the US

Italian chilli oil

I've been looking for this brand of chilli oil that has pieces of chilli in it and is in a white can?

Any clues, because I've been googling and looking for ages but can't pinpoint it.

What pasta to pair with calamari (frittura di pesce)?

Having some Italian friends over for dinner and know the Italians are picky when it comes to seafood pairings. Any ideas of what pasta to pair with it? Dinner is also served with salsiccia and broccoletti (Italian sausages with sautéed broccoli rabe). TIA!

looking for Marille Pasta shape by Voiello?

Hi, I was reading and stumbled across an interesting vignette. Is this real and if so how can I source some of this pasta? I don't see anything on the Barillo website. They seem to have acquired the Voiello brand? Nothing on Amazon or Wikipedia...

Risotto alla Zucca

Fried a big onion in oil until translucent, added half a diced pumpkin.

Add some vegetable broth and salt, cook low heat until creamy.

Toasted 400g arborio rice dry in a skillet, added white wine, reduce and add to pumpkin.

Cooking the rice took a really long time, I think because of the creamy texture, adding broth helped, needed more than I expected.

Added Parmigiano, butter, serve with a dash of black pepper.

Texture is insanely smooth, looks more liquid than it is. Just a bit of bite. Great result for a first time.

I have some left over, hope I can make lunch with it by heating it up with some extra broth.

What's the deal with fennel in Italian Sausage?

I work in a deli (in Toronto, Canada), and out of nowhere suddenly everyday customers are asking "is there fennel in your italian sausage?" when I tell them yes, they never buy it.

Our sausage recipes have not changed and the fennel flavour is not too distinct. My understanding is that fennel is a very common Italian seasoning and pretty standard in Italian sausage.

Why do so many people in Toronto suddenly care about fennel? Usually when we get a wave of similar questions it's related to some cooking trend on tik tok that's blown up, but I can't seem to find any Italian sausage fennel related trends.

Some people may have an allergy, or simply don't like fennel, which is fine. But why so many, so suddenly, don't want Italian sausage if it has fennel in it? Curious to hear any insights or general thoughts on fennel and sausage. Thanks :)

Tortellini in Brodo

This was a long journey.

The brodo was made the other day. I reduced it so it was much more gelatinous than is traditional, but I love the flavour.

The dough was egg yolk-rich. The filling was a compilation of a few recipes I found, but was pork mince, prosciutto di Parma and Mortadella Bologna. Forming two bowls of this took me hours. I do not have the dexterity for this!
