Sicilian Cannoli | Crispy Shell & Creamy Ricotta Filling 🇮🇹 If you enjoy my recipes and would like to support my channel, you can donate any amount on my Ko-fi page — every gesture helps me keep creating content ❤️ 👉 ko-fi.com/cookingwithtucci A true icon of Sicilian pastry: a perfectly crisp, bubbly shell filled with sweet ricotta cream and chocolate chips. Homemade cannoli taste completely different — lighter, fresher, and absolutely addictive. ⸻ What I used (makes about 12–16 cannoli): For the shells: • 250 g flour 00 (1 ¾ cups) • 1 egg • 30 g sugar (2 tbsp) • 5 g salt (1 tsp) • 30 g butter (2 tbsp) • 5 g cocoa powder (½ tbsp) • 60 ml red wine (¼ cup) • 5 g baking powder (1 tsp) For the filling: • 750 g ricotta (1.6 lb) • 280 g icing sugar (2 ¼ cups) • Chocolate chips to taste For frying: • 500 ml sunflower oil (2 cups) ⸻ How to Make It: 1. Make the dough In a stand mixer (or by hand), combine flour, sugar, cocoa, egg, butter, baking powder, salt, and red wine. Mix for 15 minutes on medium speed until smooth and uniform. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. 2. Prepare the filling In a large bowl, mix ricotta, icing sugar, and chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate. 3. Shape the cannoli Roll the chilled dough with a rolling pin, folding a few times to make it smooth. Cut into 4 portions and roll each into thin sheets. Cut into cannoli-sized ovals, wrap around metal cannoli molds, and seal the edges well. 4. Fry Heat sunflower oil and fry the shells until golden and bubbly. Let cool completely, then gently remove from the molds. 5. Fill & enjoy Fill each shell with the ricotta cream right before serving to keep them crisp. ⸻ Find more traditional Italian-inspired recipes at 👉 www.cookingwithtucci.com #cookingwithtucci #cannoli #sicilianrecipes #italiandessert #fyp

Maritozzi | The Sweet Roman Cream Buns Everyone Loves 🇮🇹 Find more traditional Italian recipes like this at 👉 www.cookingwithtucci.com If you enjoy my recipes, please follow and share to help my channel grow — your support means everything! Soft, golden, and filled with rich whipped cream — these are Maritozzi, one of Italy’s most beloved breakfast treats. Originally from Rome, they’re slightly sweet brioche-style buns with a hint of citrus and vanilla, perfect with your morning coffee or as a dessert to share. ⸻ Ingredients (makes about 13 buns): • 100ml milk • 4g dry yeast • 500g flour 00 • 80g sugar • 6g salt • 100g butter (room temperature) • 3 whole eggs • Zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon • A pinch of vanilla powder For the filling: • 400ml whipping cream • Condensed milk (optional) • Icing sugar to finish ⸻ Instructions: Activate the yeast in warm milk (37°C) with 1 teaspoon of sugar and let rest for 10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, butter, zest, vanilla, and eggs. Mix all ingredients without the milk for about 7–8 minutes, until everything is well incorporated and the dough starts to come together. Then, add the activated yeast and warm milk in 2–3 steps while mixing, until you have a smooth and elastic dough. Knead gently, then let the dough rest at 30°C until it triples in size. Divide into 70–80g portions and shape into balls (about 13 pieces). Place on baking paper and let rise again until doubled in size. Bake at 200°C for 15 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Meanwhile, whip the cream until thick — you can sweeten it with a little condensed milk if desired. Once the buns are cool, slice through the center, fill generously with whipped cream, and dust with icing sugar. ⸻ Find more traditional Italian recipes like this at 👉 www.cookingwithtucci.com 👉 If you enjoy my videos, I’d really appreciate your support — even a small gesture makes a big difference.

Eggplant Parmigiana | A Classic Italian Oven-Baked Favourite 🇮🇹 Find more traditional Italian recipes like this at 👉 www.cookingwithtucci.com If you enjoy my recipes, please follow and share to help my channel grow — your support means everything! A true Italian comfort dish, Parmigiana di Melanzane is made with layers of baked eggplant, rich tomato sauce, mozzarella, and Parmigiano cheese. This lighter, oven-baked version has all the flavour of the traditional fried one — but without the excess oil. Simple, healthy, and absolutely delicious. ⸻ Ingredients (for 4–6 pax): • 1kg long eggplants • 750ml tomato passata • 5 cloves garlic (center removed) • 200g mozzarella • 20g Parmigiano Reggiano • Fresh basil leaves • Olive oil • Salt ⸻ Instructions: Start with the sauce: in a frying pan, heat olive oil and garlic (remove the core to make it lighter on the stomach). Once sizzling, add the passata, a splash of water, and cook at medium heat for 20–30 minutes until thick and aromatic. Meanwhile, wash and dry the eggplants. Slice them about 1cm thick, place on a baking tray with baking paper, sprinkle lightly with salt, and bake for 15 minutes at 200°C. Now build your Parmigiana: In a baking dish, start with a layer of tomato sauce, then eggplant, more sauce, mozzarella, and basil. Repeat this layering 3–4 times. On the final layer, skip the basil and finish with Parmigiano cheese. Bake at 200°C for 15 minutes, until the top is golden and slightly crispy. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving — this helps the layers settle beautifully. Enjoy this iconic Neapolitan classic with crusty bread or as a side to your favourite meat or fish. ⸻ Find more traditional Italian recipes like this at 👉 www.cookingwithtucci.com 👉 If you enjoy my videos, I’d really appreciate your support — even a small gesture makes a big difference.

Sfogliatella Napoletana | A True Neapolitan Icon 🇮🇹 Find more traditional Italian recipes like this at 👉 www.cookingwithtucci.com If you enjoy my recipes, please follow and share to help my channel grow — your support means everything! The Sfogliatella Napoletana is one of the most loved pastries from Naples — flaky, buttery layers that shatter with each bite, revealing a creamy semolina and ricotta filling scented with citrus. It’s the kind of pastry that defines Neapolitan mornings — best enjoyed with a strong espresso and a sweet memory of home.

Transfer to the bench and compact by hand. Pass through a pasta machine 3–4 times on the widest setting to compact the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 1 hour. Meanwhile, make the filling: bring water and salt to a boil, then whisk in semolina until thick. Transfer to a bowl, cool completely, then add ricotta and sugar. Mix until creamy and smooth. After the dough has rested, roll it again through the pasta machine from widest to thinnest setting. Wrap around a rolling pin, brushing butter between layers as you roll. Press gently to compact, then slice into 1–2 cm thick rounds. Flatten each piece into the classic shell shape, fill to the top with ricotta cream, and bake at 200°C for 20–25 minutes, until golden and crisp. Dust with icing sugar and enjoy the authentic taste of Naples!

Pasticcio di Pasta Napoletano | A Rich and Hearty Neapolitan Classic 🇮🇹 Find more traditional Italian recipes like this at 👉 www.cookingwithtucci.com If you enjoy my recipes, please follow and share to help my channel grow — your support means everything! This Pasticcio di Pasta Napoletano is a true showstopper — layers of rich ragù, al dente rigatoni, melted cheese, and boiled eggs all wrapped inside golden puff pastry. It’s hearty, indulgent, and one of those Sunday dishes that fills your kitchen with the unmistakable scent of home. ⸻ Ingredients (for 6–8 pax): • 500g rigatoni • 250g pork mince • 250g beef mince • 750ml tomato passata • 150g cheese (mozzarella or provola) • 20g Parmigiano Reggiano • 4 eggs (boiled) • 1 onion • 1 glass red wine • 2 puff pastry sheets • Olive oil • Salt & pepper • Optional: 100g peas for added sweetness ⸻ Instructions: In a large pan, add extra virgin olive oil and finely chopped onion. Sizzle for a few minutes, then add both the pork and beef mince. Once browned, deglaze with red wine and let the alcohol evaporate. Season with salt and pepper, add peas (if using), and pour in the passata with a little water. Simmer on medium heat for 30–40 minutes until the sauce thickens and the flavours deepen. Meanwhile, boil the eggs and cook the pasta al dente — about 3 minutes less than the package time. When ready, mix the pasta with the sauce, cheese, and Parmigiano. Stir well until evenly coated. Cut each boiled egg into 8 pieces. Line a baking tray with one puff pastry sheet and spread half of the pasta mixture inside. Add the egg pieces evenly, then cover with the remaining pasta. Top with the second puff pastry sheet, sealing the edges well. Trim the excess, pierce the surface with a fork, and brush with an egg wash (1 yolk mixed with a bit of cream). Bake at 200°C for 30–40 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing — the perfect comfort food for any occasion. ⸻ Find more traditional Italian recipes like this at 👉 www.cookingwithtucci.com 👉 If you enjoy my videos, I’d really appreciate your support — even a small gesture makes a big difference.

Carbociana Pasta | A Bold Fusion of Carbonara & Amatriciana If you enjoy my recipes and would like to support my channel, you can donate any amount on my Ko-fi page — every gesture truly helps me keep creating content 👉 ko-fi.com/cookingwithtucci Carbonara and Amatriciana are two giants of Roman cuisine — creamy, rich, peppery on one side, and bold, tomatoey and smoky on the other. Today we bring them together into one unforgettable dish: Carbociana. The result is a pasta that combines the silky texture of carbonara with the deep, slow-cooked flavour of amatriciana. Comforting, satisfying and absolutely addictive. ⸻ What I Used (2 portions): • 220 g rigatoni — 8 oz • 150 g pancetta or guanciale — 5.3 oz • 40 g Parmigiano or Pecorino — 1.4 oz • 2 egg yolks • 4 g black pepper — 0.14 oz (about 1 tsp) • 600 ml passata — 2 1/2 cups • 1/2 onion, finely diced • Salt • A splash of pasta water ⸻ How to Make It: Dice the onion very finely and slice the pancetta or guanciale into thick strips. Place the pancetta in a cold pan and let it slowly “sweat” until golden and crunchy. Remove the pancetta but keep all the rendered fat inside the pan. Add the diced onion into the fat and cook until soft and transparent. Pour in the passata, add pepper, salt and a splash of water. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce becomes dense and flavourful. Once the sauce is ready, add back the pancetta and your al dente rigatoni. Cook together for 1–2 minutes. In a bowl whisk the egg yolks with the cheese. Turn off the heat, add the egg–cheese mixture to the pasta along with a touch of pasta water, and gently mix until creamy. Serve in a bowl and finish with extra pancetta and cheese on top. Enjoy your Carbociana. ⸻ Find more traditional Italian-inspired recipes at www.cookingwithtucci.com #cookingwithtucci #italianfood #carbonara #amatriciana #pasta
