Igor's Tuscan Grilled Chicken

Roast Chicken Vermentino
This rich, delicious roast uses the broth from rehydrated mushrooms for extra flavor. Porcinis aren’t a necessity, but pick some up if you can. You’ll be glad you did. Pair this with a nice salad and the leftover wine for an excellent evening.

Pesce in Saor (Venetian marinated fish)

Spaghetti With Clams
For me, spaghetti with clams has to be ''white,'' which is to say without a tomato in sight -- and actually the first time I ate it this way was not in Italy but in one of my favorite Italian restaurants in New York, Da Silvano. This was a very long time ago, and I've been hooked ever since. I have specified amounts for a single portion here, because I feel cooking food you love is never something that should be reserved for company. Besides, this is quick and easy to make, and it's important sometimes to give yourself the treat of the perfect supper alone.

Roasted Tomato, Mozzarella and Pesto Calzones
The secret to crispy calzones: Bake them in a very hot oven, and use drier ingredients in the filling to prevent the dough from becoming soggy. Slow-roasting the tomatoes for the filling concentrates their flavor and pulls out their juices, while pesto adds punch without contributing too much moisture. Fresh mozzarella is just right for many things, but it’s too wet for a calzone, so use drier whole-milk mozzarella instead. If you prefer to use store-bought pizza dough, you’ll need three (8-ounce) balls for this recipe.

Pat Lenz's Leek and Goat Cheese Pizzas

Spaghetti With Octopus Braised In Red Wine

Spinach Lasagna With Fennel Sausage
Making lasagna from scratch, including the pasta, is a time-consuming project that is absolutely worth the effort, especially for a holiday dinner. If you have a friend to help you in the kitchen, so much the better; or, spread the work over a couple of days. Of course, you may use store-bought fresh or dried lasagna noodles instead of making the pasta yourself, or use a favorite tomato sauce recipe of your own. This lasagna is delicate and rich, best served in small portions.

Fennel With Tomatoes

Roasted Stuffed Red Peppers

Impromptu Mustard Fruit With Mascarpone

Crostini With Sun-Dried Tomato and Anchovy
These little toasts are simple to assemble, especially if you have sun-dried tomatoes and anchovies on hand, and are a great snack to have with drinks. This makes eight crostini, enough for four polite diners to have two each before dinner. Scale up if your crowd is a bit more ravenous.
