Nutellone Frosting
This has become my go-to frosting. It is a nutella bomb without being too dark or sticky. The cream cheese gives the frosting some integrity when you spread it, as well as enough acidity to cut through the sweetness.
Tomato Graté
Growing up, my grandparents had a vegetable garden, and around this time of year, crates of tomatoes would start lining up along the back of their house. Some were canned for winter but most ended up on the table roasted and crusted with breadcrumbs, garlic and parsley. These tomatos are ubiquitous on the Romganolo table, and quite possibly the best food in the world.
Melted Tomatoes
This has become one of my favorite condiments, both for the intense tomato punch and the ease of preparation. They're amazing spooned over fish, grilled steaks, roasted eggplant, salads or toast. Warm, cold, however you like :)
Basil Vinaigrette
This has become a signature salad dressing for me. Drizzled over soft butter lettuce, it is one of my simplest and most requested sides by my customers. The trick is blanching the basil leaves so they keep their vibrant color, and using a very powerful blender to get it nice and smooth.
Sweet Pea Soup
This incredibly simple soup ticks all the boxes: easy, cheap, beautiful, bright and flavorful. It's one of my most requested soups both at work and and home. The key is not re-cooking the frozen peas, which are already blanched, preserving their natural flavor and vibrant green. The soup is delicate and sweet, and OH THAT COLOR!
Salt & Pepper Babyback Ribs
This recipe's salt and pepper baby back ribs were salty, but I found them strangely addictive; the meat was tender and moist. I will definitely make them again.
Grilled Corn with Basil Butter
Now that the first corn is starting to appear at the markets, it's pretty much all I can think about. This dreamy basil butter recipe is the perfect solution.
Charred Carrots with Orange Peel and Mint
A lot of people hate cooked carrots, I imagine because of the bland school lunch variety that has been boiled within an inch of it's life. Fair enough. But I believe this crispy and sweet version would be enough to convert even the most devout hater. Roasted at high heat until they are blistered and tender crisp, the orange peel highlights their sweetness, and the mint brings and element of irresistible freshness.
Pappa di Pomodoro
For me this soup will always conjure warm memories of four college girls crowded around a table in a chilly apartment in rome. When I studied there with a few of my best friends we saved our pennies for travel, wine, and the occasional pizza from the shop downstairs. On rainy days I would make big kettles of this soup for just a few euros and we would stuff ourselves with it while we imbibed in jugged red wine. Because the main ingredients are used in equal parts, it's really easy to scale this recipe based on the number of people you're serving, or how hungry you are. This one's for my girls, Mary, Andrea and Brooke! xx
