Here’s how it’s different 👇🏻

📍 @cafedeparis_colliavolturno (Colli a Volturno) 🇮🇹 

We all know and love Sicilian cannoli — but not all cannoli come from Sicily.
In Molise, in a small town called Colli a Volturno, there’s a lesser-known version called the Cannolo Collese.

Instead of ricotta, it’s filled with custard (crema pasticcera) and whipped cream (panna), and made with fried shortcrust pastry, creating a completely different texture and experience.

Recipe for Affunnatielle

SERVES 2

Ingredients

4 eggs
8 oz of shishito peppers 
½ onion (thinly sliced)
5 tomatoes on the vine (roughly chopped)
1 tbsp of chopped parsley
4 basil leaves 
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Wash the shishito peppers and remove their stems.
2. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan on medium/high heat.
3. Add the onion and gently sauté them for a couple of minutes. When it starts to turn translucent, add the peppers, mix well and cook for a couple of minutes.
4. Add the chopped tomatoes, chopped parsley, and basil leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Turn the heat to medium/low, cover with a lid and let simmer. 
5. After a couple of minutes of simmering, remove the lid and add 1 cup of water. Stir well and cover again with the lid. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring from time to time to avoid sticking the sauce to the pan. 
6. At this point the sauce starts to thicken. With the help of a spoon, create 4 wells in the sauce, crack the eggs one by one and place them in the holes you just created. 7. Sprinkle a little pinch of salt on each egg. 
8. Place a lid on the pan and let cook for about 3 minutes, until the egg white sets but the yolk is still runny.
9. Serve immediately, in the pan, accompanied by some good slices of bread.

A little different from my usual hair content, but I wanted to share a piece of me. 🇮🇹❤️

Everyone shows you the Positano Coast, Rome and all the beautiful places Italy is known for… but not many are fortunate enough to know and experience the real, everyday life of a tiny village tucked away in the mountains of Italy. In the smallest region of Italy that they claim “doesn’t exist.” Ma esiste eccome. 

Both of my parents immigrated to America from Molise Italy—my dad from Longano and my mom from Isernia. Growing up as the daughter of Italian immigrants, Italy was never just somewhere we went on vacation. It was part of who I was. I’ve spent so many summers here, and that love and connection has only gotten stronger as I’ve gotten older.

Longano will always hold an especially important place in my heart. It’s simple, quiet, slow (sometimes a little too slow 😂), and one of the only places that truly forces my busy mind to slow down. My morning walks here, the familiar faces, the mountains, the simplicity of everyday life… there’s a peace I find here that I can’t really explain and I can’t find anywhere else.

And now, getting to bring my own kids here—to walk the same streets, experience the same little village and stay connected to where their grandparents came from—is something I’ll never take for granted.

So yes, this may not be hair… but it’s a little piece of the person behind the hair. 🤍🇮🇹

Longano, Molise. Forever a piece of me. ❤️
