Homemade Spaghetti O’s
I loved Spaghetti O’s as a kid. I also oddly crave them when I’m pregnant 🤣. They’re obviously not great for you so I found this homemade version from The Modern Nonna. I gave them to Jack for lunch today and he loved them! Recipe below. ▢ 3 tablespoons olive oil ▢ 3 cloves garlic, minced ▢ 1

A basket of red onions, whole yellow onions, a halved red onion, and a knife on a cutting board, illustrating how Italians cut onions and its impact on flavor.
Roasted whole onions with their skins on, described as 'Sweet & Slow,' best for broths, stews, and stock bases, retaining moisture and natural sweetness.
Halved, caramelized onions, labeled 'Mild & Caramelizable,' ideal for roasting, grilling, and stews, holding structure and deepening flavor.
Italians don’t cry over onions. They cut smarter.
Think an onion is just an onion? Not in Italian cooking and definitely not if you want flavor, texture, and tears that are worth it. In Italy, the way you slice an onion can change your entire dish — from a delicate soffritto to a rich caramelized base. Cut it wrong and your risotto gets bitter

They call it Italian penicillin because we always have it when we’re sick and it’s healing 🫶🏼 maybe because of the nonnas making it ❤️ It’s always a favorite of kids who are picky eaters too even if you just use the little pastina with some salt & butter on it and that’s it. It’s just so cu

This was the soup that appeared without asking. When someone was sick, sad, overtired, or just quiet in a way that worried everyone a little. Nonna called it “nothing special,” which is how you know it was everything. A small bowl, a small spoon, and the feeling that someone was taking care of

This is what Italians actually make when the shrimp are fresh. Not fried. Not overcooked. Just real Mediterranean flavor, layered into a pasta dish that feels like summer by the sea. We're talking risotto-style spaghetti with giant shrimp, a homemade shrimp broth full of flavor, garlic-infuse
