Spaghetti Summer - Chef Emilio Desiderio, Gabrisa Restaurant, Positano (Na)


Not long after arriving in Positano that afternoon I entered into the lobby of Hotel Villa Gabrisa - home to Gabrisa Restaurant.  Not long after that I was greeted with a friendly smile/hug/double kiss by Chef Emilio Desiderio. We hadn't seen each other in about 2 years, so we had a lot of catching up to do.  And what better way to catch up than over a long leisurely lunch!  One of my few requests?  To be present in the kitchen as Desiderio prepared my pasta dish.  His spaghettone alla positanese. Spaghettone alla Positano.

 When that time came, I headed down to the kitcen with the chef to check out the action.  I wanted to see up close as the chef prepared his version of Positano on a plate.  The dish includes seafood that Desiderio hand picks on his daily visits to the market - sconcigli and lupini clams.  There are also roasted tomatoes and crunch toasted crostini (bread cubes).





Fantasticaaa!
