Halibut Steaks With Pesto Sauce

Greens and Mushroom Panini
For these greens-packed panini, try to find a bag of washed, stemmed greens. If you blanch your greens after bringing them home from the market, you can make the panini in no time.

Crescents With Pecorino Romano Cheese

Giant Green Pie (Torta Pasqualina)
This savory pie, called torta pasqualina in Italy, is many times made for special occasions because the preparation is a bit fiddly. The finished product, though, is impressive to behold, and you’re sure to draw compliments from your dining companions. Traditional cooks use a strudel-like pastry, rolled out very thin into a large circle, for the pie. At least four layers are necessary, brushed with oil to achieve a flaky crust. (You can get good results with phyllo dough or ordinary pie dough.)

Italian Braised Greens And Potatoes

Roast Pork and Pepper Sandwiches
This roast pork sandwich is a sly take on char siu bao, a food close to Rich Torrisi’s heart. His father worked as a court officer in the Manhattan Criminal Court building in Chinatown, and when he’d take his son to work, he’d often securely sequester the boy in an empty jury room with a box of Chinese roast pork and custard buns for companionship.

Pappardelle With Greens and Ricotta
This is the kind of pasta dish you could make for a dinner party when you have little time to prepare food in advance. Seek out fresh ricotta at Italian markets for best results.

Cannoli Cream Calzone With Honey and Orange
A calzone has many of the perks of pizza. Easy and crowd pleasing, it’s a good vehicle for using up odds and ends in the fridge. Taking a cue from Lucali’s Nutella-drizzled calzone, I attempted my own dessert version. I mixed honey, cinnamon and orange zest into ricotta before filling the pizza dough (the same one used for a savory calzone), then I dusted the top with powdered sugar after baking. A sprinkle of sea salt lent a savory contrast to this most sweet endeavor.

Pizza With Arugula, Corn And Bacon

Recipes Mixed Greens With Herb-Vinegar Dressing

White Bean and Caramelized Onion Calzone
The calzone, like the pizza, is a crowd-pleaser, and a excellent vehicle for using up odds and ends in the fridge. This version, which is filled with lemony mashed white beans, caramelized fennel and onions, happens to be vegan. Full-flavored and soft-centered, it's not a traditional calzone but a delicious tart-like creation unto itself.
