Episode #302 - Spaghetti all' Amatriciana
Even if it is not a traditional Tuscan dish, this is a very popular sauce...at the end, Romans are close neighbors of us, and when it comes to food and wine we’re all big brothers...when it comes to soccer though, well, that’s another story. The most popular version of this dish is prepared with Bucatini, a commond kind of pasta in Italy...but nowhere to be found in our neighborhood! So we cooked spaghetti.
Also, we are happy to
introduce you to a magnificent wine, oh life is
beautiful when you come across this kind of
surprises. Our bottle of Ornellaia made our night a
memorable one...sorry, too many adjectives?
Welcome back to the Tuscan Gun, please join us for a

Episode #102 - Turkey Sausages with Spicy Kidney Beans in Fresh Tomato Sauce
In Italy, when we talk about sausages we usually refer to pork meat, it is very rare to come across anything different, at least not in Tuscany...oh, well, yes...boar sausage...still pork is!
This dish is a powerful
one: it's a filler, it's hot, it loves wine and
toasted garlic bread...and it makes a great left
over.
In all this, we completely forgot to give more info
about the wine...We drank a Villa Antinori from 2002,
and we will post more informations about it asap.
Ingredients:
8 Sausages (pork or turkey).
1 Lb of cherry tomatoes.
