PASTA ALLA NORMA
This is an original recipe given to me from Sicilian relatives. Pasta is tossed with a simple tomato sauce, then topped with fried eggplant, ricotta salata, and hot peppers. The cut of pasta is not too important, it is good even with spaghetti.

PESCHE (ITALIAN PEACH COOKIES)
My mother, Nonna Lola, used to make these peach cookies through all my growing up years. This is her version of the cookie from the town of Colledimacine in Abruzzo, Italy. There are several variations of the filling, including a custard like one. I personally like my Mama's best.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Lightly grease cookie sheets or use parchment paper Mix together sugar, eggs and oil. Add flour and baking powder. Form 1" balls (cookies should be "flat" on the bottom where they rest on the cookie sheet) and bake about 10-15 minutes (until lightly browned on the bottom). while cookies are baking, prepare filling by combining the preserves and brandy. while cookies are baking, prepare icing by placing cup of sugar in a small deep bowl, the grenadine in a small deep bowl, and the brandy in a small deep bowl. When cookies come out of the oven, let cool for a few minutes. Take the cookies and use a knife to scoop out some cookie to form an indentation for the filling. Place some filling in the indentation and place the almond in the middle (the pit of the peach) Take another cookie and just put in the filling (no pit) this will be the other half. Put the two cookies together to look like a peach. Dip the peach to get it complete wet on the outside in the brandy, dip again in the grenadine for the red coloring. Roll peach in sugar and place in muffin cups. Before serving, garnish with leaves and or a clove in the middle.
PESCHE ALLA PIEMONTESE: STUFFED PEACHES FROM PIEMONTE
Steps:
- Rinse, halve, and stone the peaches. Puree 2 of the peach halves in a food processor. Place the puree in a bowl and add the sugar, crushed macaroons and the egg yolk. Cover each peach half with this filling and place the peach halves in a buttered baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining butter over the peaches and bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. Serve hot or cold, with or without heavy cream.
PESCHE ALLA NONNA
Steps:
- Combine the water, vanilla bean, salt, lemon juice, and sugar in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Peel the peaches with a vegetable peeler and leave whole. Add the peaches to the simmering liquid, cover, and adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Poach the peaches until they are barely tender when pierced with a knife, about 4 minutes; they will continue to cook as they cool. Remove them from the poaching liquid with a slotted spoon; reserve the syrup. When they are cool, halve the peaches and remove the pits. Strain the syrup, let cool thoroughly, then pour it over the peach halves. Cover and chill the peaches. Put the raspberries in a blender with 1/2 cup of the syrup from the chilled peaches. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Thin the raspberry sauce, if needed, with a little more syrup. Taste and add a little superfine sugar if the sauce needs sweetening. To serve, cut each peach half into 3 slices. Make a pool of the raspberry sauce on 6 dessert plates. Put a scoop of ice cream in the center. Surround with the peach slices. Crumble an amaretti cookie over the top and serve.

Steps:
- Make the pastry cream: In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring milk and lemon zest to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale yellow; add flour and whisk until well combined.
- Remove lemon zest from milk and discard; slowly whisk hot milk into egg mixture. Return mixture to saucepan and place over medium heat; cook, stirring constantly, until cream thickens and begins to boil.
- Transfer pastry cream to a large bowl; cover with plastic wrap, pressing down on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool completely.
- Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Whisk eggs in another large bowl. Add sugar and whisk to combine. Whisk in milk, butter, and lemon zest until smooth. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing with a fork, until dough is smooth and stiff. Let dough rest for 5 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with nonstick baking mats; set aside.
- Using a lightly mounded tablespoon of dough, roll the dough firmly between your palms to make a smooth round ball, about the size of a walnut. Repeat process, taking care to make sure all the balls are fairly uniform in size. Place balls on prepared baking sheets spacing about 1 inch apart; you should be able to fit 24 balls on each baking sheet. Flatten tops slightly with your fingertips.
- Transfer to oven and bake until bottoms are lightly browned, about 15 minutes; tops will remain pale. Transfer to a rack and let cool slightly.
- Assemble the peaches: While the cookies are still warm, use a small, sharp knife to cut a circle about the size of a quarter on the bottom (flat) side of each cookie, taking care not to crack the edges. Use the tip of the knife to scrape out enough crumbs to make hollow and hold about 1 teaspoon pastry cream. Set cookies aside.
- Place rum or maraschino liqueur and schnapps in a small bowl. Add enough red and yellow food coloring to create your desired shade of peach; set aside. Fill a shallow bowl with sugar; set aside.
- Fill each hollowed-out cookie with 1 teaspoon filling. Sandwich two cookies together so that the filling comes just to the edge, taking care not to crack or break. Using a pastry brush, brush "peach" with colored liquor and roll in sugar to coat. Transfer to a large airtight container and repeat process with remaining cookies, liqueur, and sugar. Cover container and transfer to refrigerator; let chill overnight.
- Just before serving, pierce each "peach" with a toothpick where the two cookies come together and insert the stem of a peach leaf. Alternatively, you can garnish cookies with decorative or chocolate leaves.
PESCHE - ITALIAN PEACHES COOKIES
Labor-intensive, but well worth the effort. These cookies are typically only served at weddings or special holidays because they require a gathering of women to increase the rate of production and the fun. My cousins and I spent countless holidays sneaking into the freezer to snag a tasty frozen peach. Finally, we convinced my nonna to teach us how to make this special peaches and we have enjoyed making them ever since. They freeze well and are actually better if frozen immediately and taken out when needed. These are meant to be enjoyed with many friends and family and they NEVER disappoint. In fact, after living in Italy for two years, I learned that my nonna's peaches were better than any I could find in Italy. I think some recipes have been corrupted by modern conveniences, but my nonna's recipe has not changed since she immigrated in the 50's.

Steps:
- No need for a mixer - just cream butter and sugar with a wooden spoon, add eggs, continue to cream and then add lemon juice. Add almond extract (the amount is negotiable, and I tend to add a little bit more because I like mine very almondy). Combine baking powder with 3 cups of flour and add to slowly to creamed ingredients -- mix only with your hands! Add the rest of the flour until dough is not sticky. It takes some practice to get the texture perfect. You may have to add a little more flour to get it just right. You do not want it to be too greasy as the cookies will not rise well.
- Roll cookies into balls with about 1 tbsp worth of dough. Bake cookies at 325 degrees for 15-20 minutes -- watch until start to turn golden. Let cookies cool fully (sometimes I cook them the night before and let them sit out to dry). When cool, carve insides out to make room for pudding.
- Make two bowls of water and vanilla extract. Add yellow food coloring to one and red and yellow to other. Add just a few drops as you just want a light coloring. Have another small bowl of sugar ready for dipping.
- Fill one cookie with chocolate pudding and one with vanilla pudding and stick together. Dip "peach" half way into one colored water and then walf into the other. Sprinkle or dip in sugar (don't go overboard on sugar, you just need a little sprinkle as a finishing touch). Put in cupcake paper and freeze immediately. Take out and that when needed.

Steps:
- Toss the aubergines with the salt, then tip into a colander set over a bowl for 30 mins, to extract any moisture.

- Stir the aubergine into the sauce with the basil and capers. Season to taste, then toss the spaghetti in the pan with the sauce and a splash of the pasta water. Divide between four bowls and top with the ricotta and extra basil, if using.
