Marinated Meatballs – Everybody seems to love meatballs. Here is a different and tasty alternative to their normal red—sauce preparation. These veal or turkey meatballs are marinated in a tangy marinade of herbs and vinegar. They are good for buffet tables, picnics, or just to keep in the refrigerator for a snack. They make terrific sandwiches as well, and if you serve them with some mashed potatoes it becomes a meal.

Cavatappi w/ Asparagus & Spinach Pesto. I love this dish in the spring, with all the bright, fresh vegetables just appearing in my garden! Pesto doesn’t have to be made only with herbs – greens, such as baby kale or arugula, also work great. I like to combine them with one or two fresh herbs for a bright and balanced flavor. I also like to use different nuts in my pesto, sometimes pine nuts, sometimes almonds, sometimes walnuts; here I use pistachios. Link to full video and recipe in my bio. Buon Appetito!

A traditional Piedmontese dessert, Gianduia Cake is a rich, delicious chocolate cake with hazelnuts, great with fresh berries and whipped cream. It’s always been a favorite in our house, as I’m sure it will be in yours. Buon Gusto

I love this dish, it’s a little bit different, but still simple, delicious – and it looks beautiful! Pomegranate is one of the fruits mentioned in the Bible, and is still a favorite fruit of the Mediterranean, where is revered almost as much as the olive tree. Pomegranates signify good luck and fertility. Buon Gusto!

Clam & Scallion Risotto. Linguine with clams is an Italian classic and a favorite dish of mine. However, I love a good risotto with clams and scallions too.

Fennel and Radish Salad with Prosciutto Cotto. Here I am in beautiful Monza, Italy, where I discovered this this deliciously fresh and savory salad. I love the crunch of the fresh vegetables in contrast with the Prosciutto Cotto and Caciocavallo, all brought beautifully together by the fresh lemon juice and olive oil dressing. Link to video in my bio. Delizioso!

This very tasty appetizer could also easily be turned into a vegetarian meal, perfect for the weekend. The Italian title says it’s “Roman,” but mozzarella and anchovies are a well known combination in Southern Italy as well. In this recipe the mozzarella is fried between layers of bread and then topped with a puckery lemon, capers and anchovy sauce. Delish! Link to video and recipe in my bio.

I love this deliciously elegant dish, always great for a special occasion. However, if you prefer, you can also easily make this recipe with large boneless, skinless chicken breasts or pork chops on the bone. Join me in my garden as I show you how to make it here.

Arugula Salad with Porcini Mushroom & Grana Padano – Porcini are my absolute favorite mushrooms, and I have very fond memories of foraging for them in the hills of Emilia-Romagna. Paired with the subtly nutty flavor of Grana Padano and the peppery Arugula it makes for a deliciously simple and savory salad, perfect for a week night dinner. Link to video and recipe in bio.

Fregola Salad
Fregola, tiny round pasta shapes made from semolina, is hearty and chewy like a grain but cooks quickly. This hearty pasta salad is best when made a bit ahead to let the flavors mingle. Fregola is very versatile. In addition to this preparation, I also like it cooked risotto-style with seafood. Buon Gusto! Link to recipe in my bio.
