Opinions on the name Evan Michael with an Italian last name?

I'm 20 wks pregnant with a baby boy and having major issues with coming up with a name.





Problem is my husbands last name is Italian. It starts with Di %26amp; has 4 syllables.





I like Evan Michael. I am looking for opinions, wondering if anyone thinks that would be a strange combo.





I'm a little paranoid of giving my baby a weird name that doesn't fit.





Thanks for any opinions =)

Opinions on the name Evan Michael with an Italian last name?
my first impressions is that his initials would be EMD- sounds like you're saying MD (Medical Doctor).








I love Evan it's a great name. i hate Michael. it's my least favorite boys name of all time. it's SUCH a common middle name it's the very definition of "filler".





something different might be-


Mitchell


Marcus


Mateo (my fav, esp w/an italian surname)


Marshall

Reply:I like it. My husband is Italian and I am also trying to get names to rhyme with it. Our name has been shortened because it was so long and now it is a girls name, Susi, and my three boys hate it! (It rhymes cute with girls names though)
Reply:I think Evan Michael will be a really good name for a baby with a long, Italian-sounding last name. I think more common, simple names sound best with long/more difficult last names!
Reply:No matter what the last name, the combo of Evan Michael is terrific!
Reply:I think that's fine, I don't think it's wierd.
Reply:I love it, it's an awesome name!
Reply:you should have giving out the whole last name so we could see how it sounds..i really don;t like it


Is the last name Pearson a Italian name?

It is not Italian but the name is ultimately of Greek origin, from "petros", rock, stone, and was very popular among Christians in Europe during the Middle Ages, mainly because it was the name bestowed by Christ (as a byname) on the apostle Simon bar Jonah; the name was chosen by Christ for its symbolic significance: "Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church". In England, the personal name was an early favourite, and consequently has generated a large number and variety of surname forms, among them the patronymics Pearson, Pierson and Peirson.




Is the last name Pearson a Italian name?
The Pearson family (also spelt until the 18th century, Pierson, Piersone, Peirsoun, Pieressone, Perysoun and Person; where son was spelt as "sonne") originated in Northumber, England where some members still live at this present time. The origin of the name was Pier鈥檚 son, ie. the son of Piers. The Pearson name originated from "Son of Pierre", the French form of Peter.






Reply:Not really.


But (just to illustrate).. you always use the maiden name of women in research. So pretend that John Pearson moved to Italy and married Mary Corleone (whose family lived in Italy for centuries).


Their children would be 1/2 Italian, but have the Pearson name.


YOu always must trace the PERSON not the name.
Reply:No. But it's certainly possible someone with this last name could have Italian heritage.





A last name alone tells you almost nothing about a person's heritage, for many, many reasons.
Reply:Hell no! It's English, son of Piers, a form of Peter.
Reply:no. it could be italian based though

I need help with an Italian name?

Has anyone ever heard this name or some variation of it?





Somindonia





I'm doing some background on someone and this is the name on some paperwork found amongst some of my ancestors belongings.





I'm not sure if I'm reading it correctly. Any assistance is much appreciated.





I'm curious to know if it's spelled right and if there's an English translation?

I need help with an Italian name?
It's not Italian, at least written in that way! if written by uneducated people ( immigrants ) could "hide" a group of words ; ex. Za'....'ndonia, referred to an Aunt Antonia. I wonder what could be "min"!



Reply:That would be pronounced "som-een-DOH-nee-ah" (or more slurred and conversational, "som-een-DOH-nyah"), but I've never heard of it.





The only thing I could think of is that "dominus" is the Latin word for "God," which means that name probably has some religious significance. Nothing in standard Italian starts with "somin," however, so I'm not sure what that first part is about.





Edit: Well, "somatizzare" (soh-mah-tee-DZAH-reh) means "to physically resemble," so perhaps it means "resembling God"? Then again, "soma" means "pack" and "somalo" means "donkey" (like a "pack animal"), so...
Reply:I've never heard it and I am Italian...





I think that it doesn't exist...





Maybe you means Sonia ( that is Sonia) or Simona ( that is Simone)
Reply:sonia or sonya is often thought to be a translation of somindonia.

Is the last name Montague French or Italian?

Cuz Romeo's last name was Montague, and he was Italian, but i've heard Montague was a French name, too so what is it?

Is the last name Montague French or Italian?
This is what www.ancestry.com has to say about the name,


Montague Name Meaning and History


English (of Norman origin): habitational name from a place La Manche in France, so named from Old French mont 鈥榟ill鈥?(see Mont 1) + agu 鈥榩ointed鈥?(Latin acutus, from acus 鈥榥eedle鈥? 鈥榩oint鈥?.


Irish: English surname adopted as equivalent of Gaelic Mac Taidhg, a patronymic from the byname Tadhg (see McTigue).


hope this helps.
Reply:Mr montana@





normans are french (normans =%26gt;Normandy, region of France)


normans spoke french also , so Montague is french
Reply:The Montague name is definitely English with it's origins in Normandy. Our ancestor Drogo De Monte Acuto was a key combatant in the Battle of Normandy and close friend of the son of William the Conquerer. He was awarded quite a lot of land after the conquest. Montague Castle was noted for holding one of the first farmer's markets in England.


Shakespeare's use of the name has two different stories in our family history. One story usually considered unlikely is that Montague was a banker in London who financed Shakespeare. Montague was leaning on Shakespeare to pay some money back and as a stop-gap measure Shakespeare used the name in the play to placate him. The more credible story is that Charles Montague was Shakespeare's gay lover. Charles financed many of William's plays and was a frequent companion. There are a number of Shakespeare's love sonnets dedicated to Charles. Charles was scheduled for the guillotine when he was 14 years old. The Queen of England intervened saying "The boy is too beautiful to die" and he was spared.


The Montague family is the second most researched surname behind Plantagenet in the english language.


Curtis Montague
Reply:Montague is one of those names that came over with the Norman invasion. It means pointed hill in French.
Reply:Definitely sounds more French than Italian.

Italian restaurant names please??? I'm opening a restaurant and I need an authentic Italian name Thanks?

Choosing an appropriate name for a business can play a relevant part in its success (or lack thereof). It should be a fairly short name, easy to remember, but not to be confused with similar sounding names.





Some Italian restaurateurs name their joint with their signature dish, such as "la Carbonara" or "la Capricciosa". Other use their first name (or that of their child, grandson, spouse, etc.) when it sounds particularly nice and "homey" (Trattoria da Cesare, Ristorante Zia Sofia, etc.).





Other interesting names which are fairly used by restaurants in Italy hint to bits of local history and lore, such as "Il Contrabbandiere" (the smuggler) or "Il Pirata" (the pirate). There was even a "theme restaurant" somewhere named "Trattoria dal Fascista" (due to the owner's past allegiance to the infamous regime), with the interior all decked with insignias and portraits of the late dictator, but I doubt that this particular business model would be successful elsewhere.





In conclusion, just do what your heart tells you to do. It's always the better way to go.

Italian restaurant names please??? I'm opening a restaurant and I need an authentic Italian name Thanks?
Well, whatever you choose look at the price behind the name. How much is it going to cost to buy the sign outside, napkins, glasses, menu, business cards, embroidery, ink and materials costs money, therefore shorter is cheaper.





Research your proposed name and make sure you have permission to use that name if some on-else is using it, with lawyer documentation. If not its unnecessary headache in the future.





Next think about public perception, if the name is Italian deli and restaurant, its going to be too generic. Be creative and original.





Don't name it with your name, for reasons in the book, Kitchen Confidential.





Let the style of food and the purpose of the restaurant determine the name, not the other way around.





Manja means eat in Italian. Good luck
Reply:I like Arturo's suggestions.


Just please, please don't go for a mafia / fascism related name. That's so depressing (and stereotyped)!


Without knowing what your restaurant will specialise in it's difficult to help - maybe you can use the title of some famous aria, like "La primavera" (by Vivaldi - it means "the spring"), "Rigoletto" (by Verdi), which could ring a bell also in those customers who don't speak Italian.
Reply:well.....you don't really need an authentic italian name...coz...i guess that your not all of ur to-be-patronizers speak italian..))), except if its an italian neighbourhood.


But you can use the fact that its an italian restaurant to your advantage by using the things italy is famous for to create that glamorous touch which will have pshychological impact on your customers.


hence, "Little Italy" is a good name for a small restaurant which targets customers from the low to middle class financial bracket.





if the restaurant is located in a sporty or student-populated neighbourhood you could try "Mafioso" )) most teenagers and young sportsmen think that the mafia is cool)the name also has a sort of mysticism and exoticism attached to it.





if its a restaurant of substancial size which attracts customers from the higher- middle to wealthy class financial bracket, then "Naples" or 'Venice" are also beautiful names which indicate prestige and high status.





you can also call it "Pasta Palace" "Tastes of Italy" etc





"Bel Piatoo" , "La Campagna" are good names in italian


"buon appetito" is also a cool name!!


good luck.....!!


i wish you u success !
Reply:Or you could just see what other people are naming their restaurants in other parts of the country and see what you;d like to do. Here in Denver, we've got:

I think you start with the word Bella which is beautiful. This way when people look it up in the phone book or on the web in yellow pages it will be one of the first ones listed (an old marketing trick). Have you thought about using your last name perhaps and making it Bella surname interiors? Or just add another word where your surname would be like Bella Vida (or whatever the word is for life in Italian) Interiors. Or just plain Bella interiors. Good luck.

What is the name of this Italian wine?

This Italian wine tastes like Asti, but both its taste and alcohol are a little stronger than Asti.

What is the name of this Italian wine?
It might be a "moscato", or "moscato amabile" ("amabile" means sweet).





I don't think it's a prosecco, as the first answerer said, since prosecco is dry, while Asti spumante is sweetish. You didn't specify, however, whether the wine you mean is a sparkling wine also.





Asti spumante is just one of many wines made from white "moscato" grapes.


Here is a Wikipedia page with a listing of Italian DOC and DOCG white moscato-made wines; maybe you'll recognize the one you're looking for:


http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categoria:V...





Key:


"secco" = dry


"amabile" = sweet


"passito" = a raisin wine


"spumante" = sparkling wine, like champagne


"tranquillo" = still (non-sparkling)


"frizzante" = semi-sparkling


"liquoroso" = denser, like a liqueur

Cappucino . What's the original meaning of this Italian name ? Do you love Cappucino ?

The origin of the name is in the brown hooded robes worn by the Capuchin order of Franciscan friars. In France at the beginning of the 18th century a new fashion arose in Paris (though not at Versailles) for carved wall-panelling boiseries that were left in their natural color (almost invariably oak) rather than being painted and gilded as in the previous century. The new mode, which coincided with the height of the controversy over Jansenisme that was dividing the tout Paris in stylish religious pamphleteering, was wittily termed 脿 la capucine in reference to the brown color of the robes worn by Franciscan friars. This color-coded etymology is followed by the Oxford English Dictionary and the American Heritage Dictionary. The order of Capuchins was, in turn, named for the capucize (cappuccio), or long pointed cowl, worn by the friars.





Yes i love it.

Cappucino . What's the original meaning of this Italian name ? Do you love Cappucino ?
Well, all i have to say is look at my I.D name.Hahah,yes can't get enough of it.
Reply:i would kill for a cup of cappuccino after lunch :P
Reply:cappucino?! who said cappucino???
Reply:Cappuccino is an Italian beverage, prepared with espresso and milk. A cappuccino is generally defined as 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 frothed milk. Another definition would call for 1/3 espresso and 2/3 microfoam. A cappuccino differs from a cafe latte, which is mostly milk and little foam. (A "dry cappuccino" has less milk). The "iced cappuccino" beverage is a misnomer since there is no way to duplicate the foam on top of the hot beverage. Instead, espresso and cold milk on ice is called an iced cafe latte. An espresso macchiato is a shot of espresso "stained" with a dollup of milk foam.





In Italy it is consumed mainly early in the day for breakfast, although it is not uncommon at all today to see Italians drinking it (without food) throughout the day; Italians do not generally drink it with meals except for breakfast time, where it's consumed with cookies, biscuits, croissants or the like. In some other countries it may be consumed throughout the day or after dinner.





Besides a quality shot of espresso, the most important element in preparing a cappuccino is the texture and temperature of the milk. When a well-trained barista steams the milk for a cappuccino, he or she should create microfoam by introducing very tiny bubbles of air into the milk. This gives the milk an extremely velvety texture and sweet taste.





A cappuccino is ideally prepared in a ceramic coffee cup, which has far better heat retention characteristics than glass or paper.





In some places, skilled baristas create latte art when pouring properly steamed milk into the espresso, making designs such as apples, hearts, leaves and rosettes.





Cappuccino was a taste largely confined to Europe and a few of the more cosmopolitan cities of North America until the mid-1990s when cappuccino was made much more widely available to North Americans, as part of the new upscale coffee bar chains with a consciously "European" air (notably Starbucks). By the first years of the 21st century a modified version of cappuccino was being served by McDonald's. At America's most popular coffee chain, Starbucks, one must order the off-the-menu "Short Cappuccino" to get a drink that is approximately 1/3 espresso and 2/3 microfoam.








CappuccinoThe widespread acceptance in the U.S. of what was once regarded as a taste of coastal urbanites and older Italian-Americans has led to many establishments, such as convenience stores offering what they represent as cappuccino to their patrons. However, that product is usually an ersatz cappuccino, produced by machines similar to those that mix cocoa drinks where all the buyer need do is touch a button and position the cup properly. The drink that comes out is usually produced either from a preproduced mix or double-brewed coffee and bears little relation to the real thing.





Similar products result from home use of store-bought mixes usually advertised, more accurately, as producing "frothed coffee."

Is Torre a Spanish name or is it Italian?

I know Torres is Spanish, but I've always wondered if Torre is also Spanish.

Is Torre a Spanish name or is it Italian?
"Torre" means "tower" in Portuguese, Spanish, Galician, Catalan, Italian and Corsu. It could be any of those.
Reply:Torre meaning origin


1.Galician, Catalan, Spanish, Portuguese, and Jewish (Sephardic): habitational name from any of the numerous places named Torres, all named with the plural of torre 鈥榯ower鈥?(see Torre).


2.Italian: habitational name from Torres in Belluno or Porto Torres in Sassari. In southern Italy the surname is sometimes a borrowing from Spanish (see 1).


3.Dutch: from a short form of Victoris, from the Latin personal name Victorius.
Reply:Torre : origins %26amp; meanings:


Italian: topographic name for someone who lived near a tower, usually a defensive fortification or watchtower (from Latin turris), or a habitational name from any of the places named with this word, as for example Torre Annunziata or Torre del Greco in Naples province, Torre de鈥?Passeri (Pescara, Abruzzo), or Torre di Ruggiero (Catanzaro, Calabria).


Galician, Catalan, Aragonese, Spanish, and Portuguese: habitational name from any of the numerous places so named in Galicia (often in the form De la Torre), in Catalonia and Aragon (as for example La Torre de Fontalbella, La Torre del Compte, La Torre de Fluvi脿), or from any of the many places in Spain and Portugal named Torre or La Torre, from torre 鈥?watch) tower鈥?(of the same etymology as 1).
Reply:The common thread in the above (good) answer is that all of those places have roots in Latin languages. This is why you can have a certain name which is NOT limited to coming from only one location.


If this is a family name, the way to find out is to trace the person back, and determine where their ancestors came from.
Reply:A good clue is to find out who the original ancestor was who came over and check his first name. While many of them Americanized their names, many also kept their original names.
Reply:In Spanish, torre means tower and torres means towers

Surname: Torre


This name, with variant spellings Torra and Torre, has two distinct possible origins, the first and most likely being a topographical name for one resident by a rocky peak or hill. The derivation is from the old ENGLISH pre -7th Century "torr" translating variously as "a high rock, rocky peak or hill", ultimately from the CELTIC "tor", a prominence or mountain. The second possibility is that the name derives from the old FRENCH "tor", a bull, and originally given as a nickname to a strong powerfully built man. John le Tor, recorded in the 1240 "Pipe Rolls of Oxfordshire", derives his name from this source. The recordings from the former source include Martin de la Torre, (Devonshire, 1242) and Walter atte Torre, (Sussex, 1296). Early bearers of the name in SCOTLAND were Matthew de Torre who witnesses a transaction in St. Andrews, (1288), and Thomas de la Tour of Ayrshire who rendered homage in 1296. The old lands of Torr in Fife were named from the Celtic element "tor", and some Torrs may hail from this spot. William Torr, (1808 - 1874), agriculturist, gained a reputation as a live-stock judge in England and abroad. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Robert de Torra, which was dated 1182, "The Pipe Rolls of Cornwall", during the reign of King Henry II, "The Builder of Churches", 1154 - 1189.





www.familysearch.org lists these varied spellings (and where found/listed from): TOURS (Germany, England) ; THOR (Denmark); TUER (England); DE LA TOR (Chile); TORR (USA); THUR (Canada); DE LA TORRE (Argentina, USA,Australia, Guam ); THUER (Switzerland); TOWERS/TOWER (England--I'd say maybe pronounced with a long o, such as "toe";) ; DELLA TORRE (Canada); DELE TOURE (England) ; TORRES (El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela,Bolivia); VAN DER TORRE (Netherlands); **THORSEN (Denmark, the "SEN" is for "son"); **THORSDR (the DR is for "daughter"--English spelling; Denmark); TORREBLANCA (Mexico, going by the info above, this would basically equal the name WHITEHILL);


TORESON** (Norway); TORSSON **(Norway); TORDSSON**


(Sweden); THORNTONS (Sweden); THORESSON(Sweden);


THURESSON (Sweden); TORDSEN (Denmark); THOERSDATTER and its masculine form THOERSEN (Denmark); TORERSDATTER and its masculine form TORERSEN (Norway); THORN (Sweden); %26amp;TURE (Sweden).





The earliest listing I found here and on http://trees.ancestry.se


(Swedish site of ancestry.com) was


ALBERT VON TORRE VON SAX--b.1133 ; d. 1185 (it seems he was a General; from Sweden; his father was Alcherius VON TORRE , and he died about 1176/81.








**In the Scandinavian countries--Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Denmark--the sons add either SON/SSON/SEN/SSEN to their father's name and use it either as a middle or last name, and daughters add DTR/DR/DATTER/DOTTER in a similar way.

What does the name Eranos mean (even definition)? What is it's origin? And,is it an Italian name?

Your continued donations keep Wikipedia running!


Eranos


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Jump to: navigation, search


Eranos is an intellectual discussion group dedicated to study of spirituality. The name is derived from an ancient Greek word meaning a banquet to which the guests bring contributions of food, a no-host dinner. The group was founded by Olga Froebe-Kapteyn in 1933, and these conferences have been held annually in the grounds of her estate (on the shores of Lago Maggiore near Ascona in Switzerland) ever since. For over sixty years this event has served as a point of contact for thinkers from disparate fields to discuss all things spiritual. The conference takes place over eight days in which time all the participants eat, sleep and live together, thereby promoting a proximity which fosters an atmosphere of discussion. Each year a new topic is addressed and the idea is that each thinker delivers a two hour lecture on the subject - his/her contribution to the 'banquet' of ideas - thereby attempting to draw these multifarious thinkers into productive intellectual discourse.





[edit]


Eranos' Beginnings


Froebe-Kapteyn established this group at the suggestion of the eminent German religious historian, Ruldolf Otto. Froebe-Kapteyn was the Dutch foundress of the Table Ronde, an association which is indicative of the Eranos' 'spiritualist' bent. Indeed Eranos was from its very outset interested in these issues. The title of its first theme was: "Yoga and Meditation in East and West", a trult pioneering subject in the early 1930s. Eranos in its infancy soon came to be associated primarily with Carl Jung. Jung was a regular participant at Eranos, and his conception of mythic archetypes came to be a foundational theory of Eranos.

Can anyone name the best Italian food restaurant in San Diego, CA?

I would HIGHLY recommend The Godfather restaurant in Clairmont Mesa. They have wonderful Italian food. You get plenty of it for the money too. With each entree, they give you breaded/sauteed zucchini as well as a side dish of spaghetti marinara.





The other great thing about The Godfather is the ambiance. It really feels like you're in the middle of the movie or something. It definitely feels like the kind of restaurant Michael or Vito Corleone would hang out in. For example, all the waiters are dressed in tuxes.





Here's their website:

Can someone who is not Italian pull off the name Giovanni?

Friends of mine are having a baby, they are white, but they are not Italian, and they want to name him Giovanni. I'm meeting up with them soon, and while I don't want to impugn upon their choices, I just wanted to give them advice and forewarnings. So I'm seeking advice here, what do you think, can he? Will he be ridiculed for it?

Can someone who is not Italian pull off the name Giovanni?
not a good idea I think


it will be difficult to pronounce in school and spell and such.


I have friends who named their son Gian Carlo, and also have nothing to do with Italy,


they spelled it Yan Karlo, so people can say it as it is.


Maybe that would be an alternative for them to write it


YOVANNI. or JOVANNI.





they could go for another Italic name such as


ADRIANO


MARCO


MARIO


LUCA





and those are simpler


good luck

Reply:Yes, people can have names from different heritages and not be part of that heritage. In fact, there was a black girl in my high school with the name "Giovanni", I thought it was cute and fit her well. My name is Native American and I'm not Native American. I don't think the child will be ridiculed, many people have names that have nothing to do with their heritage. For example., "Jasmine" is a Persian name and girls from all races have the name. I think little "Giovanni" will be just fine! :)

As a teacher, I can tell you that if he is cool he'll be fine and his name will be hip. The other kids will like it. (I have a student named Sheldon who is very popular and the kids actually like his name!)





If however he is dorky or a bookworm, or even just a little shy, then I don't think it is wise to give him a unique name.





I imagine that your friends are pretty cool people and would have pulled off the name in their own childhoods, and he'll probably follow in their footsteps, in which case the name will be fine.
Reply:well yes he can always color his hair when he's older.

What should i name my italian restaurant?
Most Italian restarateurs name the place after themselves, the woman or man in their life--wife, Mother, husband, daughter, son, uncle, grandfather, etc.--or they name it after the place in Italy that means the most to them...





You know, the town from which their family emigrated, their favorite historic site, etc.





Apart from that, the name might be that of a favorite artist, hero, general, actor, etc.





Then sometimes somone adds a color, or a noun such as ristorante, cafe, house, place, etc.

They are not always "balls" (people can shape them as they like), but I think that's it!





Here's a recipe for them, just in case:





Original recipe yield: 35 Zeppole.


Prep Time: 15 Minutes


Cook Time: 25 Minutes


Ready In: 40 Minutes


Servings: 35





INGREDIENTS:


2 quarts vegetable oil for frying


1 cup all-purpose flour


2 teaspoons baking powder


1 pinch salt


1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar


2 eggs, beaten


1 cup ricotta cheese


1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract


1/2 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting





DIRECTIONS:


Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).


In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Stir in the eggs, ricotta cheese and vanilla. Mix gently over low heat until combined. Batter will be sticky.


Drop by tablespoons into the hot oil a few at a time. Zeppole will turn over by themselves. Fry until golden brown, about 3 or 4 minutes. Drain in a paper sack and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm.





Goodluck!

Spaghetti with Seafood and Eggplant





Ingredients





(4 servings)





1 1/2 lb medium sized shrimps


1 can of Italian tuna fish, well drained


2 medium fillets of firm white fish (tilapia, cod, snapper...)


1 large eggplant (1 pound)


2-3 shallots (or 1 medium onion), thinly sliced


1 cup green olives, pitted and chopped


4-5 tbsp good Italian olive oil


2 tbsp finely chopped garlic


2 large cans of Italian crushed tomatoes (San Marzano Roma Tomatoes) or 4 smaller size cans


1/2 tsp crushed hot red pepper flakes


1/4 c fresh basil, hand torn


1/4 c freshly chopped Italian parsley


4 qt water


3/4 lb spaghetti (or linguine, capellini,fettuccine...)


3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese





Instructions





Peel and de-vein the shrimp and set aside. Cut the fish fillets into smaller pieces. Set aside until needed.





Trim the ends of the eggplant and peel it. Cut into 1/2 inch cubes.





Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a very deep nonstick skillet (or any large pot) and add the garlic and shallots. Cook, stirring, without browning. Add the tomatoes, olives, pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Stir to blend. Remove from the heat %26amp; set aside until needed.





Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in another nonstick skillet and when it is very hot, add the eggplant, salt and pepper. Cook the eggplant, tossing it, until it's nicely browned. Drain and add the eggplant to the tomato sauce. Stir and cover and cook for 15 minutes or until well blended with the sauce.





Meanwhile, in the same nonstick skillet, add 1 tablespoon of oil and add the shrimp, salt and pepper. Cook over high heat for one minute, stirring. Add the shrimp to the sauce, blend well and cook for one minute. Keep warm.





In the same nonstick skillet, add the remaining tbsp of oil. Add the fish pieces and gently cook through (3-4 minutes).


Remove and add to the tomato sauce mixture. Also add the Italian tuna and gently fold to combine all of the ingredients.


Gently reheat the sauce on low until warmed through.





Meanwhile, salt the water and bring to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the spaghetti and cook to the desired degree of doneness. Drain the spaghetti and transfer to a serving bowl or platter. Ladle some seafood and eggplant sauce, toss well, garnish with the basil and parsley. Serve immediately with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Reply:The thing with Italian food is that it can be called whatever you want it to. If it's a seafood dish with chili flakes in a tomato based sauce you can call it a bunch of different things. You could call it an arrabiatta (which is a spicy tomato based sauce), you can also call it Fra Diavolo, Cioppino (with some more seafood added in), Pesce Pomodoro, or Pomodoro Tonno (Tuna in Italian), etc.... The thing with Italian food is that it is mostly named after the ingredients inside or after the region it's made it. You can have the same ingredients, and the same dish but it will be referred to as two different dishes based on where you are. With eggplant in it you can use the name Mellanzane (eggplant in Italian) and come up with your own unique name and make it your own.
Reply:in italian cuisine, anything with chili powder or chili flakes is called arrabiatta, just like anything with lemon butter is francese.

Just a suggestion since the name Farkks or Fakks sounds not at all Italian to me (but also unknown as foregign stylist).


I guess it could be however the French sylist Philippe Starck.

What is the name of the Italian oil based sauce (served with Pici)...?

that also has tomato, garlic, and hot pepper? Hey, if you've got the recipe even better!

What is the name of the Italian oil based sauce (served with Pici)...?
First recipe:





Pici, olive oil, garlic, bread crumbs, hot pepper,Tomato salt and parsley. (sorry no measurments i got this from my grandma and she just added stuff..i use about 1/2 - 1 cup olive oil 1-2 tomatos handfull of breadcrumbs pepper and garlic to taste)





Bring pasta water to a boil and begin cooking the pici.





Heat quite a bit of olive oil in a high-sided skillet, add very finely minced garlic, and when it begins to brown sprinkle in bread crumbs; continue cooking, stirring constantly, until they're golden. At this point add finely shredded hot pepper,Diced and seedless tomato and salt to taste. By now the pici should be al dente; drain them, transfer them to the skillet while the colander is still dripping a little, and move the skillet as you would if you were flipping an omelet to coat the strands with the sauce. Dust with lots of finely minced parsley and serve.





Second recipe


Pici


For the pasta:





3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus extra if needed


1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil


1 egg yolk


1 cup milk





Put the flour onto a counter, make a well in the center, and add the olive oil, egg yolk, and milk to the well. Using a fork at first and then your hands, work the wet ingredients into the flour. Add a little flour if the dough is sticky or a little water if it is dry. Knead 5 minutes, and allow to rest for 30 minutes. Then, using a professional pasta maker or a meat grinder, roll out into long noodles with a ridged surface
Reply:I don't know what you mean by "Pici". The sauce could be "Fra Diavlo". Go to "cooking.com" for better results. Boun Appetit.
Reply:I do not know but you can go and look on a cooking web site
Reply:Pici:


2 cups semolina flour


2 cups all-purpose flour


1 to 1 1/4 cups tepid water





Place both types of flour in a large mixing bowl and stir to mix well. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the water a little at a time, stirring with your hands until a dough is formed. You may need more or less water, depending on the humidity in your kitchen.


Place the dough on a floured work surface and knead it like bread until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover the dough and let it stand for 10 minutes at room temperature.





Roll the dough into long dowels about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. Place the pasta strands between 2 hands and lightly roll back and forth to create a lightly spiraled, snake-like noodle. Place the pici on a sheet tray that has been dusted with semolina flour, cover the pasta with a clean dish towel, and set aside until ready to use. At this point, the pasta can be frozen for several months.











for Pici all'aglione:





Pici with a garlicky pasta sauce (aglio means garlic, and gives an idea of just how garlicky this is) from the Montepulciano/Montalcino area south of Siena. Pici are hand-made, somewhat irregular strands of flour-and-water pasta (as opposed to egg pasta) that are about an eighth of an inch thick. If you can't find them, use either bucatini or other thick-stranded pasta.





First recipe:





Pici, olive oil, garlic, bread crumbs, hot pepper, salt and parsley.





Bring pasta water to a boil and begin cooking the pici.





Heat quite a bit of olive oil in a deep skillet, add finely minced garlic, when it begins to brown sprinkle in bread crumbs; continue cooking, stirring constantly, until they're golden. At this point add crushed red pepper and salt to taste. By now the pici should be al dente; drain them, transfer them to the skillet while the colander is still dripping a little, and move the skillet as you would if you were flipping an omelet to coat the strands with the sauce. Dust with lots of finely minced parsley and serve.





Second recipe





This is more of a definition:





Aglione is a soffritto (a saut茅ed mixture) in which several cloves of garlic are saut茅ed with shredded hot pepper, with the addition, at the end (but not always) of a little tomato sauce. It's a spicy sauce that works well with home-made pasta made with just flour and water but no eggs, and as such is peasant food.





--------------------------------------...


Pici all'Aglione


(Pasta with Garlic Tomato Sauce)


I learned how to make hand-rolled pici, a pasta found only in a small area of southern Tuscany, from Massimiliano Mariotti, chef Al Casale in Chianciano Terme. Although it is possible to buy dried products called pici, it should only be called pici when it is fresh. When dry, it is called spaghettone, or fat spaghetti. Aglione is a type of wild garlic, similar to green, or immature, garlic. You can substitute mature garlic but use half the amount.





4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour


1 1/4 cups water


3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil


Pinch of salt


6 large, very ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped


1 small head green garlic (approximately 6 immature cloves), sliced


1 or 2 pepperoncini (dry red chiles) to tast


1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley


Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper








On a wooden board, make a well in the flour. Add the water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt. With your hands, work the flour into the liquid and work the dough to a smooth and homogenous texture. Cut the dough in small pieces and roll with the palm of your hand into a long, round string; this technique is actually called piciare. The thinner the pici, the better.


In a large saucepan, combine the tomatoes, garlic, the remaining olive oil, peperoncini, and parsley. Over medium heat, simmer for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is very tender (mature garlic will take longer). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.


In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta 6 to 8 minutes, until al dente. Toss with the sauce, turn into a warmed serving bowl, and serve at once.

What is the name of the leftist italian newspaper?

FoxNews quoted a leftist Italian newspaper article yesterday that said " The shootings at Va.Tech are as American as apple pie". Even Iran and Iraq sent condolences to the USA, Italy, a so called "friend" of the USA says this?????What the hell is wrong with those people!

What is the name of the leftist italian newspaper?
well, let me say that Italy did not say that. If someone said that it's only a small part of the country which do not represent the majority. Personally I red what happen to Va Tech and I was shocked. I hope you will accept my condolences as an Italian.


Ciao Mike
Reply:its pretty much true.
Reply:So, since when does one, solitary newspaper headline represent what a WHOLE nation thinks? I think your judgment is rash, superficial and unfair. There are many papers in Italy, and all the ones I read were very sympathetic. But, of course, all papers tried to analyze the tragedy, the perpetrator, and its relation to similar passed events such as Columbine. As did every paper worldwide, including the newspapers and news shows in the US.





I think it is also very biased of Fox to highlight this particular news heading, and at the same time obviously ignore the hundreds of other Italian papers that DID not head their articles with this kind of clich茅.
Reply:Have you any problem? i'm italian





In italy is difficult understand because in your country a teenager with psychologycal problems can buy without problems weapons to kill 32 people


why don't call it to your goverment, instead to criticize all italians for a title of a news paper?
Reply:you must understand that here in Italy You must have documents that prove that you can use weapons to have ine and it is not possible to bring it with you everywhere so we are not used to hear about this kind of things.


Anyway... many people in Italy belive that the left people in Italy don't understand anything...


Don't think we are all the same...every person in every country is different from the others.


The name of the newspaper should be "il Manifesto" and is read by only some thousend people (and I'm not one of them)
