PINSA with mortadella, pecorino cheese, and balsamic dressing
Some people prefer it over its more famous “cousin” pizza, praising the many differences, but just like pizza, pinsa is loved all over the world. Over time, the way it is enjoyed and topped has evolved. Originally a leftover dish in ancient Rome, it has become a true gourmet delight without renouncing its “humble” origins. What distinguishes pinsa from pizza is not only its typically elongated shape but also its substance. Made with a mix of flours, more water, and less yeast, but with a long leavening process, pinsa is light and digestible, suitable for all ages, every season, and any time of day.
Our pinsa is enriched with genuine and delicious ingredients such as mortadella, Pecorino cheese, and a balsamic dressing that we particularly love, because just a drop of Goccia Nera is enough to sign your dishes as if they were masterpieces. In less than 15 minutes with our pinsa base you can prepare a colorful, healthy, tasty, and nutritious lunch, dinner or afternoon snack. With small variations in the toppings, this recipe will always seem new, and each time it will be like the first: a love at first bite.
Preparation time: 8 minutes
Cooking time: 10-13 minutes

Ingredients
1 Pinsa Base by Pizza Food Love
100 g of Mortadella Bologna PGI by Emilia Food Love
80g of mozzarella cheese
Semi-aged Pecorino by Emilia Food Love
Fresh lamb's lettuce
Pistachio crumbs
Goccia Nera - aged balsamic dressing by Emilia Food Love
Method
-
Distribute the mozzarella cheese over the pinsa base.
- Bake in the oven at 180 °C (356 °F) for about 10-13 minutes, until the mozzarella cheese is melted.
- Then remove the pinsa from the oven and top it with mortadella, pistachio crumbs, lamb's lettuce, pecorino flakes, and a generous drizzle of Goccia Nera.
Tip
For a softer texture, pistachio pesto is a practical and tasty alternative to the pistachio crumbs. If you desire an even bolder and more intense flavor, you can substitute the semi-aged Pecorino by Emilia Food Love with aged Pecorino or our Strong Provolone.

PENNE with Tomato Passata and Leccino Olives
A centuries-old plant with great charm and equally irresistible fruit: the Leccino olive tree is famous for its great strength, resilience and its olives that are aromatic and enveloping in flavor. One leads to another—which is why we recommend keeping some on hand to make this delicious traditional recipe.
And if you are a long-pasta lover, try this recipe with Pappardelle or Spaghetti, both made with wheat germ and carefully selected for you by Toscana Food Love.
SPAGHETTI carbonara
Whether it was born in Rome or in the trenches of World War II, whether its name and origins trace back to the charcoal burners of the Apennine mountains or remain forever a mystery, Pasta alla Carbonara is a traditional dish known and loved all over the world.
You only need one hand to count the ingredients, but you'll need both to applaud its incredible flavor, creamy texture, and irresistible aroma. For our carbonara we chose spaghetti, but don't forget to try it with short pasta as well, because we are sure that after tasting it you will look forward to making it again.
PIZZA with yellow datterino tomato puree, olives, and grilled eggplant
There are few dishes as beloved as pizza. Since its first appearance on our planet, it has been such a success that it has captured the curiosity not just of chefs, but also of scientists who are now exploring the best way to send it to the uncharted depths of space.
Preparing our pizza with yellow datterino tomato puree, olives, and grilled eggplant doesn’t require a degree in astrophysics, but we can certainly call its flavor “out of this world.”
