We had a slow start this year with the Italian Food Lovers blogs, mostly because we have been focusing on completing the launch of the new Academia Barilla website. Our blogging team has been heavily involved with the development of the content side for the new website, and this kept us from blogging with our usual frequency.
While the Academia Barilla website is now completed, as well as all the new website features we invite you to explore, we are now working on the restyle/redesign of the Academia Barilla online store, that will be released in its new version soon.
We love our blog and we couldn’t stay away from it, so here we are again, back to blogging.
Since you can now discover gourmet recipes from the Italian regional gastronomic tradition at the new Academia Barilla website, we asked Barilla Executive Chef Lorenzo Boni to provide us with a recipe from our beloved region, Emilia-Romagna, and he provided us with a recipe for a classic dish: Veal Cotoletta alla Bolognese, that Chef Boni pairs with a side of Asparagus Tips and Cherry Tomatoes sautéed in Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
