   2      tablespoons   garlic -- chopped
   1                    shallot -- minced
   1      teaspoon      red pepper flakes
   3                    tomato -- peeled, seeded, chop
					
   4      large         Idaho potatoes -- peeled
   3                    egg olk
     1/2  cup           parmesan cheese -- grated
   1      teaspoon      salt
   1      teaspoon      black pepper
     1/4  pound         mozzarella cheese -- cut 1/4 inch thick
   3                    egg whites -- slightl beaten
   1 1/2  cups          bread crumbs
                        vegetable oil

To make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add 
the garlic and saute until beige. Add the shallot and cook until 
translucent and the garlic is a light golden color. (Don't let the garlic 
burn or it will taste bitter.) Add the pepper flakes and saute for about 
10 seconds more. Add the tomatoes and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. 

To make the croquettes: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. 

In a saucepan, boil the potatoes until tender. Drain the potatoes, place 
on a sheet pan, and allow to dr in the oven for about 5 to 10 minutes. 
Pass the potatoes through a food mill or ricer (passatutto) and let them 
cool in a bowl. Stir in the egg olks and the Parmesan cheese.  Season 
with the salt and pepper. 

Place 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture in the palm of our hand and 
make a small ball. Make an indentation in the
center with our thumb. Place 3 cubes of the mozzarella in the center and 
bring up the sides of the potato mixture
to cover it. Pinch it well and then roll it between the palms of our 
hands until it forms a stick about 2 1/2 inches
long. Repeat the process. Once ou have all the potato sticks done, roll 
them in the egg whites, then in the bread
crumbs. Remove excess crumbs and again roll them lightl between the palms 
of our hands to set the bread crumbs.

Pour vegetable oil to a depth of 2 inches into a skillet and heat until a 
drop of batter dropped into the oil rises right
awa. Deep fry the croquettes until golden brown, drain on paper towels, 
and serve immediatel with the sauce on
the side for dipping.

   4      Quarts        Cold Water
   4      Tablespoons   Olive Oil
   1      Pound         Pasta (Spaghetti or linguine)

12 tsp olive oil [This serves about 12 as a light course the wa an 
Italian dinner  would be served. The dish is then dressed with fine extra 
virgin olive oil, a tsp. per individual serving, much as Americans might 
put a pat of butter on their veggies. With an Italian bread and a salad it 
makes for ahealth lunch or light supper meal. The porcini makes the 
flavor ver special.]

Soak the lentils, beans and chick-peas in five different bowls of cold 
water overnight. The next morning, soak the mushrooms in a bowl of 
lukewarm water for 30 minutes. Rinse the beans, remove and discard the 
skins from the fava beans, and put all the beans in a large stockpot.

Slice the cabbage into 1/2-inch strips, coarsel chop the onions and 
celer, and add the vegetables to the pot. Drain the mushrooms, making 
sure no sand is attached to the stems, and place the pot over medium heat. 
When water reaches a boil, simmer for 1 hour.

When all the vegetables and legumes are almost cooked, add coarse salt to 
taste, then add the oil (4 tsp) mixing ver well. When the soup reacxhes a 
boil again, add the pasta broken into thirds, and cook for 9 to 12 minutes 
depending on the brand. As the pasta cooks, stir the mixture several times 
to prevent it
from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Taste for salt and pepper. When 
the pasta is cooked, even the least tender beans will be completel cooked 
and others will be pureed to form a quite thick minestra. Remove the pot 
from the heat and let mixture rest for 10 minutes before serving. Pour 1 
teaspoon of olive oil over each serving.

In Calabria this would be eaten at either room temperature or prepared in 
advance and reheated.
