ChEAT’s Timpano
This is not an everyday recipe and requires a lot of preparation. But trust me, the result is definitely worth it! This is ChEAT’s take on the famous Italian Timpano, or Timballo.
Paccheri Cake
Pasta filled with creamy cheese and baked with a simple meat sauce. An alternative for baked cannelloni.
Naan Bread Gozitan Pizza
Naan bread is not only for dipping in sauces or curries. It is so flexible. Here we are combining it with local flavours creating a very tasty Gozitan style pizza.
Deep Pan Pizza Maltija
A crispy deep pan pizza with a soft centre topped with typical Maltese toppings and finished off with fresh Gozo cheeselets.
Brie-Gilla
This quick and easy recipe might be the ideal appetizer for your Valentine's Dinner. Creamy Brie enclosed in a puff pastry crust and flavoured with walnuts, cranberries and Maltese bigilla. Best served with galletti or grissini and your favourite glass of wine.
Gibanica Gozitana
Gibanica is a pie made with feta cheese and filo pastry. Famous in the Balkans, this is Ch-EAT's version with a Gozitan twist.
Carbonara Maltesa
This is not a traditional Carbonara but based on its principles. This recipe has a hint of Maltese flavour.
Kusksu l-Forn (baked kusksu)
Kusksu is a traditional Maltese soup made with fava beans, Gozo 'ġbejniet' and pasta beads or 'kusksu' pasta. My Ch-eat here is turning this delicious soup into a baked casserole. I can assure you that the result is absolutely delicious. Ideally use fresh fava beans when they are in season but frozen or canned can work just fine too.
Pasta and Meatball Pearls
Pasta shells filled with creamy ricotta and crispy meatballs on a basil tomato sauce topped with mozzarella cheese.
‘TikTok’ Feta Pasta - Maltese Style

Low Carb Fettuccine with Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino
Staying on a low carb diet I just discovered this pasta alternative and I'm really surprised by it's texture, taste and benefits! It's organic, low on carbs, high in protein and it tastes great. Here's a simple recipe that you can make, remember here that for a great result, a great olive oil is needed!
Xgħir il-Forn (baked barley)
This is a variation from the traditional ross il-forn. Barley is full of nutrients, healthy and very tasty!
Ftira Tal-Ġbejniet u Patata
This Gozitan ftira is a traditional dish resembling a pizza topped with fresh sheep's milk cheeselets and potatoes.
Tarjanċini
This is a hybrid between a froġa tat-tarja (angel hair pasta omelette) & the traditional rice arancini. Perfect for parties and they are simply divine!
