PRESENTATION

When it gets chilly, Costine di maiale with piselli and patate really hits the spot. It’s one of those dishes that warms Italian hearts like nothing else. Starts with a classic soffritto. Really good stuff. Onions and carrots—sweet and golden—create a flavorful base before the ribs even hit the pan. And once the costine di maiale are browned, everything simmers together with tomato sauce, fresh chili, and a generous helping of piselli. So, so good.

This is the kind of ricetta italiana that shines when served piping hot, straight from the pan. Italians love it. And you know what? It’s perfect as a secondo piatto for a cold day. In northern Italy, some folks prefer their costine al forno baked for a slightly more crispy texture. Others? They stick to the costine in padella method for a moist and flavorful result. Either way, potatoes soak up all those delicious juices—rich and comforting.

The patate and peas add a lighter touch. Makes it a bit more refreshing than your average winter meal. This dish totally captures the essence of cucina tradizionale italiana—simple, slow-cooked, and perfect for sharing with loved ones. Pretty simple. Feel free to mix in different veggies or add extra chili for some heat. But at its heart, this is one of those costine con verdure meals that feels just right when you're craving comfort food.

Fresh out of the pan, with tender meat and saucy potatoes—seriously good—it’s the ideal choice for a proper Italian-style winter dinner. Whether it's a family gathering or a cozy night in, this dish brings everyone together around the table, showing the core of Italian home cooking with every bite. Enjoy the warmth and flavor that only a classic dish can provide. And the sauce? Perfection.
