You only need a tiny bit of saffron to flavor a recipe though.

Beluga caviar is a well known gourmet food and this caviar comes from a fish, which is more than a hundred years old.

10 Reasons to Cook Italian Food Instead of Chinese Food Tonight

First of all, let me just say this. I love both Chinese food and Italian food.  Don't get all excited and start thinking I am bashing on any particular culture. I am not; in fact I am attempting to take a man's view on cooking Italian.   Both styles are mega delicious and should be consumed in great quantities.

1.    Italian wine: Need I say more? Ever hear of a good Chinese wine? I think not.  Maybe a Saki, but as far as I am concerned, it's an acquired taste.

2.    Complexity: Husbands who don't venture into the kitchen much tend to feel more comfortable with something not as complex. Spaghetti and meatballs is really not too tough.

3.    Lots of variations: You can start with any kind of pasta, dump anything on top of it, and you have transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary. Anything in your pantry or refrigerator is fair game.

4.    Tomatoes: Tomatoes are beautiful. They come in so many varieties, and can be spiced in so many ways. How can you not like them?

5.    Simple ingredients: We have very good Chinese friends who invited us to dinner once. She asked me to grab something out of the refrigerator for her while she was creating our culinary delight. Upon opening the refrigerator, I saw items that I have never seen in my refrigerator before. There was funky plant life and animal parts that I did not think you could buy much less eat. This was one well stocked unit but I would have to imagine it would take a while to buy all those ingredients. Italian refrigerators seem a little simpler. Besides, gizzards and chicken feet just don't work for me.

6.    Neater noodles: Italian noodles are just more fun to me. You get all kinds of noodles in all sorts of shapes and sizes. You can buy them in boxes and bags or make them yourself. Chinese noodles, while delicious, seem to have less variety.

7.    Easy to make: For some reason I just can't get my white Anglo Saxon attempt at Chinese food to taste authentic. I never seem to have the one ingredient that creates the magic touch. In Italian cooking, I have  everything I need,( which is the fab four: olive oil, onions garlic and basil), and it is usually just comes down to adding more of "this" or "that'

8.    Impersonations: I just don't do a good imitation of an Asian, but I can get you going with my rendition of  Vieto ala beanie. Everyone can do a good Italian imitation. This is the part where cooking is becomes fun. (its easier to make fun of your own) I love to entertain my children with my cheesy attempts at cultural   impressions. It's better received to kiss your fingertips in appreciation than to muster up a large belch.

9.    Italian food tastes better the next day: My grandmother would make sauce, but we were never allowed to  eat it until the next day. That's because all the flavors came together while it sat overnight in the refrigerator after assembly. What I once thought was a cruel thing to do to a boy, turned out to be a rewarding exercise in patience. (check out our pasta fagioli, most excellent the next day)

And the number one reason....(Actually #10)

Garlic: As far as I am concerned, garlic is the center of the universe. I can't get enough of it. I love the smell of it, I like it on my hands, I like the way it smells in the kitchen, I like it on bread, in sauce, on pizza or in pesto.  Heck if I could get away with garlic sheets on the bed. (you get the idea)  Italians love to cook with it and its versatility is certainly bound to make it the signature of any dish. Sauté' some with some onions and olive oil, it can make a grown man cry.

How to Cook and Store the Best Fresh Pasta

So you've learned your grandmother's fresh pasta recipe, or you've found a great handmade noodle store that will do the job for you. That's great news! Now what? It's not as if you can simply dig in out of the container as though it were take-out.

The beauty of the best fresh pasta is that you can use it to make a gourmet meal in a very small amount of time. Once it's made, all the work has been done for you. But if you want your dinner to be perfect, you need to treat these noodles well.

Remember that they are a work of art! It takes great care and a delicate hand to make them, so you need to respect the tradition and love that went into their making. Then, you need to store them and cook them properly. This is very easy, as long as you know what you're doing. Here are a few tips about storage and preparation to make sure that your meal is beautiful every time.

Storing Handmade Fresh Pasta

If you've made it yourself and you've already cut it, then you can either choose to refrigerate it for later use, or you can cook it right away. If you aren't going to be cooking your noodles immediately after having made them, then you will want to give them 1 to 2 minutes of drying time on a baking sheet.

Next, give them a generous dusting with flour so that when you store them together, they won't stick and form a solid clump. Gather them together into small bunches and either fold them in half or wrap them into small nests. Allow them to dry for an additional thirty minutes and then wrap them up and place them into the refrigerator. Fresh pasta will remain good for up to 2 days in the fridge. If you think that it will take you longer to consume the noodles, freeze them for up to 2 weeks.

Cooking Handmade Fresh Pasta

If you can cook dry noodles, then you can cook fresh pasta. The reason is that freshly made noodles are far easier and faster to prepare! Use a large pot of water and bring it to a boil. For about 4 nests, you'll need around 8 cups of water. That may seem like a lot, but it is good to have a lot more water than pasta. This helps to ensure that the noodles will be able to move freely in the water instead of cooking to each other.

Once they're in, bring the water back to a boil, and after a minute and a half (yes, that's all!) of gentle simmering, you're all set! Drain the water off in a strainer and serve right away with your favorite sauce. Don't overcook it or you won't be happy with the texture it produces. Al dente should be your goal. If you aren't sure, just take a noodle out of the pot, let it cool for a couple of seconds, and take a bite!

The best handmade pasta isn't always easy to find when you don't want to make it yourself.
