Turkey Stock for Risotto

The risotto is a very simple dish, but it may contain some very interesting flavours and texture. In my case the main ingredient is correct turkey broth. It's rich, creamy and, when prepared correctly, very light.

It is the time of the year when fresh potatoes are gathered to bring us these little nuggets of culinary joy. Their taste is very much like the full grown potatoes, but it has a little bit something more....
Their granular texture and earthy flavour are incredible, if prepared correctly.

Boiled Turkey Breast: Wow!

Fresh tomato based pasta

Being lazy is not a bad thing, as I discovered not long ago. Being lazy is the reason I came up with this fresh tasting recipe.
I was so hungry one evening after a long and lazy day. As usual pasta and fresh tomatoes are abundant at my home(thank you relatives and frequent guests from Rome,Italy). I was so tired to cook up the sauce, that I just chopped the tomatoes and fresh basil, and that was the base for the pasta.
