Raw Milk Ricotta
If you didn't know, raw milk makes a mighty fine ricotta. This recipe will tell you how.
East Spaghetti with Brown Butter, Lemon & Sage
Some white beans tossed in would bump up the protein in this lemon sage pasta recipe. I love to serve it with plenty of fresh finely cracked black pepper.

Roasted Carrots with Goat Cheese, Peanuts, and a Balsamic Drizzle
This is on the appetizer menu at a local Italian-ish restaurant, I love it so much that I order it as my main course every time I go. Needless to say, I had to recreate it at home. They use a wood-fired oven for their carrots, so if you have one laying around, you should too. If not, muddle through like the rest of us with your plain old, regular oven.
Country-Style Risina Beans
The risina bean has taken considerable work to rescue, and it may take some effort to track down. But it’s well worth ordering the heirloom legume online. La Boutique del Gusto ships Cuore Verde risina beans to the United States and other locations, or you can purchase them online from other vendors. Once you order, most of your toil will be over because the beans lend themselves to a simple preparation. This recipe, from the Umbrian couple who produce the Cuore Verde risina, brings out the beans’ subtle, grassy flavor.
Grilled Fresh Tomato Sauce
Sauce is one of the best ways to preserve tomatoes. Grilling the tomatoes adds a smokey flavor and softens the skins.
Overflowing garden kale and tomato
Basil Infused Olive Oil
I love making this Basil Infused Olive Oil recipe and drizzle it over heirloom tomatoes, grilled eggplant, fresh mozzarella and broiled fish.
Mezzi Rigatoni with Tomatoes, Lots of Herbs, Hot Oil, and Mozzarella
Imagine it's a sunny summer day. You're hungry, so you walk out into the garden, pick ripe tomatoes off the vine, cut a big handful of parsley, mint, basil, chives, maybe some rosemary and a little thyme, then head into the kitchen to make this simple pasta dish. The tomatoes are still warm from the sun, and your hands smell of licorice, pine, and mint. It's already a heady experience and you've only just begun. When you mix the herbs in a bowl with hot olive oil, their fragrance immediately fills the air and the tomatoes release their juices, mingling with the oily goodness in the bowl. The warm pasta goes in, along with some tender fresh mozzarella, and in no time you've satisfied your hunger in a big way. Try it sometime.
Farinata di Ceci -- Chick pea Focaccia
This Chickpea Focaccia is a typical Italian recipe from Tuscany, i like to add a bit of parmesan cheese, to enhance the salty taste. It's simple, funny & tasty.
italian caffe shakerato
This is the quintessential summer beverage in Italy. I enjoyed this the first time I went to visit my famiglia in Lazio when I was 12 and I have enjoyed them every summer here at home ever since as well as on every summer return trip to lovely Italy.
Pesto Pasta Salad
Garlicky pesto and sweet peas team up with mild mozzarella and al dente pasta for a super-quick and super-tasty pasta salad. Leave as-is for a meatless meal or side or add chunks of pre-cooked chicken or shrimp for a meal in a bowl. Change the peas to any small green vegetable you'd like, as well.
Savory Grilled Garlic Scapes
Garlic scapes, first sautéed in a skillet and then grilled to a finish, are the perfect accompaniment to any summertime feast. It's a gem of a veggie recipe.
A Piece-a Pizza Corn!
This is sort of a silly recipe, but a fun way to use the corn which we will no doubt be up to our ears in within the next couple of months (pun 100% intended). The proportions can easily be adjusted to your liking. The finished product is ultimately an interplay of sweet corn, tangy tomato, and salty cheese - and tastes almost like a piece of pizza!
Persimmon Ice Cream. No Dairy, No Sugar, No Time. Fast Fast Fast!
Nothing can be quicker or easier than this Persimmon Ice Cream recipe. Yes, I'm calling it ice cream even though it contains no cream and only two ingredients!
Pasta with Creamy Walnut Sauce
This recipe is a simplified version of the traditional Ligurian Walnut Sauce recipe. It has the stamp of approval from my Ligurian husband. ;-)
homemade spinach egg pasta noodles (green pasta)
"fatta in casa" homemade pasta infused with spinach for my spinach, eggplant and zucchini lasagna dish.
Homemade Pizza Dough
For this homemade pizza dough recipe, make sure you start off with the right water temperature, or else the yeast won’t bloom and you will have to start over.
Italian Easter Cake-Porridge
As a Jew, I've never celebrated Easter, but when I saw the Food52 recipe for Pastiera Napoletana (http://food52.com/recipes/27744-pastiera-napoletana-neapolitan-wheatberry-and-ricotta-easter-cake) I was intrigued. I'm not much of a cake-eater, but I AM a porridge eater, and the wheat berry portion of this multi-step recipe screamed breakfast to me. This is my adaptation.
White Pizza
This is a pizza reimagining of the classic Roman pasta dish cacio e pepe, pasta served with only cheese and black pepper. It came to The Times from the kitchens of Roberta’s restaurant in Brooklyn, a pizzeria and lifestyle collective that occupies a number of buildings and lots in a far corner of the Bushwick neighborhood. Cream slicks the dough, and a mixture of mozzarella and tangy taleggio tops it. A shocking amount of freshly ground black pepper follows that application and, after the pizza is cooked, a shower of grated Parmesan. A drizzle of honey over the top would not be blasphemy.
Roberta’s Pizza Dough
This recipe, adapted from Roberta’s, the pizza and hipster haute-cuisine utopia in Bushwick, Brooklyn, provides a delicate, extraordinarily flavorful dough that will last in the refrigerator for up to a week. It rewards close attention to weight rather than volume in the matter of the ingredients, and asks for a mixture of finely ground Italian pizza flour (designated “00” on the bags and available in some supermarkets, many specialty groceries and always online) and regular all-purpose flour. As ever with breads, rise time will depend on the temperature and humidity of your kitchen and refrigerator. Our Greatest Pizza Recipes
Chickpea Crespelle (Italian Crepes)
This gluten-free take on Crespelle, which are the italian savory version of French crepes, comes from my grandma's notebook. Though they are traditionally stuffed with savory ingredients like cheeses and vegetables, they go really well with anything, and are great enjoyed on their own as well.
Baci di Dama (Chocolate-Filled Hazelnut Cookies)
There is really only one way to make a Baci di Dama recipe, if you're going the traditional way and you want melt in the mouth results (and you should).
