Italian buttercream
When i discovered their wasn't an italian buttercream recipe on this site, I had to remedy that. I adore this icing, its not too sweet and perfect on any cake, or spoon!
Classic Marinara Sauce
Homemade marinara is almost as fast and tastes immeasurably better than even the best supermarket sauce — and it's made with basic pantry ingredients. All the tricks to a bright red, lively-tasting sauce, made just as it is in the south of Italy (no butter, no onions) are in this recipe. Use a skillet instead of the usual saucepan: the water evaporates quickly, so the tomatoes are just cooked through as the sauce becomes thick. (Our colleagues over at Wirecutter have spent a lot of time testing skillets to find the best on the market. If you're looking to purchase one, check out their skillet guide.)
Perfect Roasted Kale
This is my favorite way to eat kale, and thankfully, it's effortless. Just toss the kale with olive oil, salt, pepper, and roast. In a handful of minutes, it's done. Half just dissolves on your tongue, and the other half has that leafy bit to it. Perfect!
Pane d' Altamura (rustic Italian bread)
This Altamura bread recipe comes from the region of Puglia in Italy where the flavor, texture and look of this bread is honored by locals and tourists alike.
Cacio e Pepe
You'll often see "Cacio e Pepe," (or cheese and pepper), on the menu of your favorite Italian Osteria. It's so good that it doesn't really make sense -- until you try it home with the proper technique and good quality pecorino. You could make this for yourself on a sleepy Thursday when the fridge is looking sparse, or for a late night dinner party with lots of wine. Whatever the occasion --it comes together in the time it takes to boil the pasta. I love to use Spaghetti No. 12 with this recipe, and coarse ground pepper, but feel free to grind your pepper fine, and use the long pasta of your choice.
Garlic-Parmesan Fusilli Pasta
Whats more comforting than pasta after a long day at work?! The answer is this quick, no-fuss pasta. This is my go-to fusilli recipe for a weekday dinner.
Spaghetti Aglio, Olio e Zenzero
It's a very simple adoption of the classic italian dish made with ginger. I'm making this for 10 years now and it is very popular with everybody...
Spaghetti al Tonno
My famiglia's delicious spaghetti al tonno recipe is served every Christmas Eve (La Vigilia di Natale). I love this meal and this recipe is so versatile.
Super Greens Pasta Bake
Sometimes, you just want a Super Greens Rotini recipe that you can make ahead and pop in the oven later. With tomato sauce, whole grain pasta & cheesy topping.
eggplant parmigiana
a very traditional version that has been with my famiglia for as long as I can remember. No breading or frying , this reminds me of how Italians showcase the true flavors of an ingredient with little fuss but in the most delicious way.
Silky Broccoli and Bowties
Broccoli and bowties is a dish my mom makes the night before the holidays; a low maintenance, comforting pile of pasta. It's more of a comfort food than you'd think. The broccoli is blanched into soft submission, made creamy with generous amounts of olive oil and parmesan cheese and breaks down into almost a chunky pesto. You'll keep going back for more. Sometimes you'll even eat it straight out of the pan.
Torrone Sardo (Sardinian Nougat)
It's a simple, relaxing Torrone recipe. No watching of thermometers, no scalding syrup or defining moments. Just a gentle heat and slow, continuous stirring.
Olive Oil Steam Fried Fingerlings Wrapped in Prosciutto
A little treat you cannot stop eating. Trust me.

The Frankies’ Fried Eggplant Sandwich
This extraordinary sandwich, served at Frankies Spuntino in New York, is crisp and tender, lightly oily in a good way, and filled with salty pungent flavor — and the secret to its goodness is in the technique used to fry the vegetable. And now you can make it at home. It’s not a sandwich to make on a whim. It takes a while to set up. But if you plan ahead — the eggplant can be cooked a few days in advance — you’ll be in for a feast.
Baccalà Mantecato
This baccalà mantecato recipe, a Venetian classic of whipped cod, calls for dried (unsalted) stockfish, which needs to be soaked in water for 1-3 days.
Tomato and Zucchini Panzanella
Spaghetti with Olive Oil, Garlic and Pan-Fried jalapeños
Here’s to Spaghetti Aglio e Olio’s new incarnation – a pasta recipe with jalapeno olive oil recipe that might be zen-like but that is undoubtedly memorable.
Basil Pignoli Pesto Recipe
A simple basil pignoli pesto recipe, I love it on everything. It’s easy to make and versatile. A classic pesto recipe that goes well with so many things. Some of my favorites: a slice of crusty bread, pasta, tarts, fish, drizzled over steam veggies, on a grilled chicken breast, on a panini sandwich, or on a pizza. It’s said that the best way to make it is with a mortar and pestle but I think a food processor makes it faster and easier method when you are running around and if you don’t have one a blender works too.
Stuffed Tomatoes with Quinoa
This recipe is great as a side dish or for a light meal.
Bucatini with pesto and cherry tomatoes
We have a huge garden and right now our tomatoes and basil are at their peak. This simple dish tastes like summer and everyone loves it. FYI, bucatini is a thick strand of pasta with a thin hollow core. It works well with this recipe but other pasta shapes could be substituted.
Roasted Tomato-Garlic Toasts
This "recipe"--more a guideline--came about as a way to get dinner on the table without fuss, and is an example of my exploration of roasting any and every kind of vegetable. The sweet flavor of best-quality late-summer tomatoes is concentrated and enriched by putting in a fairly hot oven and keeping it there till nicely browned. You can vary the quantities as you like. Not much more to be said--it's yummy, addictive and very popular around here.
Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta with Homemade Ricotta
A perfect Italian summer dish that takes advantage of the full flavors of summer vine ripe tomatoes.
