Benvenuta Primavera!
Tuesday May 9, 2006
Fresh spring vegetables -- as opposed to what's grown in a hothouse -- are by now flooding the markets, and it's time to put them to use. Making Pasta alla Primavera, for example: There's no one recipe because people's tastes and vegetable patches differ, but they all share the delightful freshness of Spring.
- Pasta alla Primavera: A rich version, made with tomatoes, eggplant, bell peppers, olives, and more
- Pasta alla Primavera: A more delicate recipe, from a cook with zucchini, artichokes, and tomatoes in the vegetable patch.
- Pasta alla Primavera: Yet another variation, with bell peppers and broccoli. Pretty colors!
- Pasta alla Primavera: A late spring version with lots of zucchini
- Fusilli alla Primavera: A rich Neapolitan version made with artichokes, asparagus, peas, and more.

Andrea Bocelli sings a song on his Amore album called: “Mi Manchi”. Don’t know if I’m spelling it right. Can you tell me what the words mean? He sounds “stressed” about something while singing this song, beautiful as it is. Appreciate your help. Your website is great.
Mi Manchi is correct — it means “I miss you.” I confess that I haven’t heard the song; though I occasionally catch Boccelli on TV, I tend to listen to cantautori, the Italian singer/songwriters of the 70s, and to Celentano and Mina, both of whom are timeless.
