In Italian, the word sciue means easy, fast, quick. This is one of those meals you can whip up in no time, but it’s oh so good! The fresh, light, delicious flavors leave me craving it all the time. Do you LOVE garlic? Are you a Giada aficionado? Then this one’s for you. Little Thimbles Sciue Sciue is one of our family’s FAVORITE pasta dishes.
Espresso or coffee is one of those ingredients you can use secretly to amp up the flavor of chocolate. Kara was hesitant to try these because she doesn’t like the taste of coffee. She loved them! They’re rich, chocolatey and delicious. Espresso is used to enhance the flavor, not overpower it. Not only are these decadent, they’re really impressive too. Don’t be intimidated to try them, they’re easier to prepare than they look. I’ve made these time and time again and every batch I’m reminded of what perfection is.
I’ve been eating bruschetta for years but it wasn’t until I was in Rome that I experienced such variety of bruschetta. We had plain bruschetta, which is like garlic bread. It was so good and slightly salty which we really liked. We got really adventurous and tired artichoke cream, olive, mushroom and of course tomato bruschetta. We knew as soon as we tasted the bruschetta in Rome that we would need to reproduce it at home.
