Healthy and light Easter menu with superfoods

Easter is approaching and, with it, the desire to taste something good and delicious. But with spring and the first warm weather, you also need something digestible, tasty, that makes the palate happy without weighing you down.

Here are some tips for a Healthy and light Easter menu, signed by one of the most loved and authoritative voices in Italian cuisine: Sonia Peronaci!

Appetizer: savory panna cotta with honey

As a starter for your tasty family lunch, we suggest a panna cotta... you got it right, a savory panna cotta!

All you need is parmesan, fresh milk and edible gelatine, with the scent of rosemary and a pinch of salt and pepper, to obtain white domes with a strong flavour.

And to make the tasting even more unforgettable, add a generous spoonful of Manuka Honey and some walnuts on top of each panna cotta crunchy.

First course: fresh cocoa pasta

cocoa, if it is really good and organic, 100% natural and raw, is a superfood that is not only healthy and rich in micronutrients, but also versatile. After the savory panna cotta, we want to surprise you with another unusual combination: the use of cocoa... in the pasta!

Fresh, homemade pasta is a perfect recipe for Easter, traditional, which immediately makes the table! But think about how much character and elegance there is in afresh cocoa pasta: straccetti or maltagliati, or tagliatelle with cocoa in the dough, seasoned with a rich cheese-based sauce.

Dessert: coconut oil tarts or matcha chiffon cake?

A shell of very fragrant shortcrust pastry thanks to the unmistakable hints of organic coconut oil encloses a fresh filling made up of pineapple slices – fresh or in syrup – caramelized and decorated with candied cherries.

A delight that you can create as a "family size" tart to be cut into slices, although single portions are a very refined and colorful idea: tarts to eat directly with your hands, like when we were children!

Another truly impressive dessert is the Matcha Chiffon Cake: a soft donut, with the bright green and incomparable scent of the culinary grade matcha tea, very high and soft like a cloud!
