Day 43

We had a wonderful lunch at La Mela today. I got a pizza again because it is simply so good there, probably the best I have had in Bologna. The dough is slightly burnt and flavorful and salty, and the vegetables on top of this one (eggplant, zucchini, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, and bell pepper) were perfect.


We also ordered some potato croquettes. Crispy and lightly fried with basically a creamy mashed-potato inside. What could be better?


For dinner, we made pasta all'arrabbiata (spicy tomato sauce). This was great, topped with parmigiano and basil. The spicyness comes from pepper flakes. Pasta here is just always so delicious!!!


Also made Rita's salad from the second lesson, which includes greens, blood orange slices, pecorino cheese and fennel. We used balsamic vinegar and olive oil as a dressing. This salad is actually addicting. I could eat it at every single meal of my life and be happy.
