Not "Italian" per se but Roman! I made some Globi! Globi were a popular dessert in ancient Rome. They are a unique and tasty item to cook from our Roman ancestors if you have a sweet tooth but dont want modern processed and refined sugar. To make them, make a dough from 1 part spelt flour and 1 part ricotta cheese (the closest modern equivalent to the cheese used for these in ancient times). Roll the bits of the dough into balls and deep fry in olive oil until crispy. Then dip each of the fried balls into honey and then sprinkle poppy seeds over the top of them. Thats it!

    I have to try this. We were gifted some amazing clover honey and it would be perfect in this dessert.
