5 weeks, 5 recipes and a great desire to share our favorite moments at the table. But how to shop? The password for this quarantine is organization. But also flexibility! Our challenge #LaRicettaCheUnisce invites our readers to share with us, friends, close, distant people and family, a home and personal version of our most famous recipes. Of the most loved, classic and traditional. We start today with carbonara and then it will be the turn of tiramisu, pizza, mozzarella in a carriage and parmesan.

cook them following our recipe, proposing yours or venturing imaginative and clever variations. Photograph yourself at the table in front of the plate alone or with the people and animals you love and share the photo on social networks using the hashtag #LaRicettaCheUnisce. The best shots will be rewarded and it will be a new and fun way to sit at the table virtually all together. In front of a dish that we like, it makes us happy and that tells something about us.

Shopping list

To facilitate participation in our challenge, we have prepared a shopping list for each recipe, to take with you to the supermarket to better organize your purchases! Here are the right ingredients, recipe by recipe with some clever variations.

The carbonara ingredients

350 g spaghetti (but also bucatini, rigatoni, penne, fusilli, mezzemaniche …)
120 g pillow (but also smoked bacon, sweet bacon, speck, sausage! For a vegetarian variant we recommend artichokes, courgettes, pumpkin, apples. To prepare a sea carbonara, mussels and clams will be perfect, but also prawns and bottarga.)
30 g grated pecorino (alternatively, grate your favorite savory cheese)
20 g Grated Parmesan or Parmesan (if you only have this at home, put 50 g to cover the dose of pecorino cheese)
2 yolks (if you have few eggs, use only a whole one, beating it well. In this way yolk and egg white will be uniform)
extra virgin olive oil
salt
pepper

The ingredients of tiramisu

500 g mascarpone (if you don't find it, you can try using a low-fat fresh cheese, chantilly cream, pastry or chocolate)
300 g ladyfinger biscuits (if you don't have them, use dry biscuits, leftovers from brioche or sponge cake)
150 g sugar
6 egg yolks (you will need these for mascarpone cream, but if you don't have them, you can also simply work mascarpone and sugar)
4 spoons of Marsala (Marsala is used to give an aromatic touch to the cream. If you can't find it, look for inspiration among the liqueurs you have at home!)
4 cups of coffee (barley is also fine! Alternatively, you can prepare a very simple syrup with water and sugar or use milk with bitter cocoa powder dissolved inside)
Unsweetened cocoa powder

The ingredients of the pizza

For the dough:
500 g flour (we used the type 1, but the manitoba, the 0 … are fine too)
4 g of yeast of fresh beer (if you don't find it, use the dry one, buy a flour that already contains it or rely on the leavening power of the baking soda. If you want to try making sourdough, here we explain how to proceed!)
10 g of salt

To stuff:

(this is the recipe of our margherita with buffalo mozzarella. But it will also be delicious with tomato sauce, garlic and oregano, anchovies, capers and olives, tomato and fiordilatte mozzarella, white with mozzarella and vegetables …)
400 g of peeled tomatoes
2 buffalo mozzarella
basil
extra virgin olive oil
salt

The ingredients of the mozzarella in a carriage

4 slices of sandwich bread (if you don't find it, a loaf of bread is also fine, to make toast or sandwiches)
2 mozzarella (if you don't have mozzarella, you can fry other stringy cheeses such as provola, caciotta …)
2 eggs
bread crumbs (if you don't have it, you can also bread it with the semolina used to prepare the polenta)
peanut oil
salt

We served it with a fresh salad. You can imitate our idea with seasonal vegetables or serve it with a sauce, a vegetable or cheese cream, other pancakes or alone. Yes, it is also very good on its own!

The ingredients of the eggplant parmesan

800 g fresh tomato sauce (you can also use peeled or ready-made pulp. If you don't like them, dare a blank version!)
500 g mozzarella (if you don't have mozzarella, replace it with other stringy cheeses)
4 long eggplants (Parmesan can also be prepared with zucchini, potatoes …)
an onion (if you have not prepared a simple sauce with a clove of garlic, but also without sauté)
basil (if you don't have it, use the fragrant herbs you have in the kitchen)
flour and peanut oil for frying the aubergines (if you don't have these ingredients, you can bake the aubergines)
extra virgin olive oil
salt
