CASSOUELA...tradizionale!

ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Cottage cheese reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella has less fat while still melting well.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often cheaper.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Prepare the ingredients: chop the celery, carrot, onion, and verza (savoy cabbage).

In a large pot, heat the strutto (pork lard) and add the chopped vegetables to sauté until softened.

Add the various cuts of pork (costine, capocollo, cotenna, zampetto, musetto, verzini, arista) to the pot.

Season with salt, pepper, and bay leaves, then stir to combine.

Cover and cook slowly to allow the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
