You can taste “arrosticini” in all of the four Abruzzo provinces. Hard-to-pronounce and equally hard to resist. Let’s make them with Pasqualino.
Buongiorno amici:
Pasqualino and Anna Maria Di Giorgio have been married for a long time, happy couple with grandchildren living in my hometown of Mosciano Sant’Angelo in Abruzzo, Italy. Anna Maria is an excellent cook, and I am always intrigued by her traditional recipes and pics.

“compagno di vita” Pasqualino ranks among the finest arrosticini maker. During one of my
cooking tours, I invited him to show off his magic to a group of Americans who had never seen the procedures and the steps that make the dish so unusually simple. Still, as in all Italian traditional regional cooking, the quality takes precedents over everything else. Cooking is a serious business.
