Lasagna with ricotta and spinach
by @ilpugliesechecucina
If you're looking for an alternative to classic lasagna alla Bolognese, this is definitely the recipe for you: ricotta and spinach lasagna. Get cooking!
Ingredients for 4 people
166.67 g of Armando lasagna
400 g of frozen spinach
100 g of cooked ham
200 g of mozzarella
66.67 g of Parmesan cheese
300 g of ricotta
For the béchamel sauce
66.67 g of 00 flour
66.67 g of butter
0.67 l of milk
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Nutmeg to taste
Preparation First, cook the spinach thoroughly until all its liquid has evaporated. Let it cool, then chop it with a knife. At this point, also cut the mozzarella into cubes. Now prepare the béchamel sauce: melt the butter in a pan, add the flour, and stir. When the roux begins to cook, slowly add the milk to avoid lumps. Stir until it thickens. For flavor, add salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
In a bowl, mix together the ricotta, spinach, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Now you can assemble it: dirty the base of a baking dish with a ladle of béchamel sauce and arrange the Armando lasagna. Cover with the ricotta and spinach mixture, then again with the béchamel sauce. Add the prosciutto slices, a few diced mozzarella, and the Parmesan cheese. Start over with the layers and continue until you've used up all the ingredients. The final layer can be made with just béchamel sauce, or you can combine the remaining béchamel with the spinach and ricotta mixture. Finally, sprinkle the surface with parmesan cheese to gratinate. Bake at 180° for 25/30 minutes in static mode and finally serve.

A delicious and simple dish to prepare: spaghetti with scampi! It will amaze all your guests... Ingredients for 4 people
400 g of Armando spaghetti
12 scampi (about 650 g)
250 g of cherry tomatoes
150 ml of tomato puree
Extra virgin olive oil to taste
1 clove of garlic
Salt to taste
40 ml of white wine
Preparation Using scissors, cut off the heads of the scampi (not all of them, but only 6 out of 12), then remove the shell and clean them thoroughly.
Finely chop the garlic. Pour a generous amount of oil into a pan, add the garlic, and sauté over medium heat. Once the garlic is golden, add the scampi heads and sauté over high heat for a few minutes. Then, pour in the white wine and let it evaporate.
After about 4-5 minutes, the scampi will be ready: mash them with a fork to release the liquid, turn off the heat, and strain the sauce (i.e., the fish stock) through a sieve. Pour it back into the pan and turn the heat to medium. Next, add the halved cherry tomatoes and the tomato puree. After a few minutes, add the remaining whole scampi.
Meanwhile, fill a pot with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Once the water reaches 100°C (212°F), cook the spaghetti.
Let the sauce cook for no more than 5 minutes, otherwise the scampi will lose their flavor. Season with salt once cooked.
When the pasta is al dente, drain and toss it with the scampi in the pan for a couple of minutes.
Finally, plate and decorate with the whole scampi and a sprinkling of fresh parsley (optional).

Rigatoni with creamed potatoes and octopus
by @piattitipici
Planning a casual lunch and wanting to wow your guests? Here's the perfect first course! Ingredients for 4 people
400 g of rigatoni Armando
300 g of white-fleshed potatoes
700 g of octopus
1 carrot
Half an onion
Black pepper to taste
salt to taste
Extra virgin olive oil to taste
Chopped parsley to taste
Preparation First, fill a pot with water (don't add salt), then bring to a boil. While you're waiting, clean the octopus: cut the base of the body sac, cut it at eye level, and remove the eyes. Then cut the tooth (beak) and remove it, pushing it out with your fingers. Gently beat both the head and tentacles with a meat tenderizer to break down the muscle tissue (fibers). This step is essential for the octopus to be tender and not rubbery.
Rinse the octopus under running water several times and set it aside. Once the water boils, dip only the tentacles four times. Once they have curled up, dip the whole octopus in and cook over medium heat for 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and carrot and dice them. Peel and dice the onion as well. Then, in a pan, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and the 3 vegetables. Sauté them over medium heat for 2 minutes, add a glass of water and cook for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, clean and finely chop a small bunch of parsley.
Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. After all these steps, about 40 minutes will have passed, so check the octopus with a fork: if it pierces easily, it's ready! Drain it and, while waiting for it to cool, prepare the vegetables: check the cooking, season to taste, add pepper and chopped parsley, transfer everything to the blender, add a ladle of water, and blend on high speed.
Once the water boils, add salt and cook the pasta for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, dice the octopus and grill it for about 5 minutes, or you can brown it in a pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Once the pasta is ready, drain it and add it to a large skillet or wok. Add all the potato puree, a ladle of water, and 90% of the octopus, and stir for 1 minute over medium heat.
At this point, plate it up, add a few pieces of octopus, a parsley leaf and... enjoy!
