Classic Chicken Tikka Masala
There is nothing like the CTM, as we call it lovingly. There’s a reason it’s the most popular dish in the UK. The chicken is cooked in Masala Mama’s luscious Tikka Masala sauce that is flavored with sweet spices and a slight tang from the yogurt and lemon juice. Forget about leftovers, there won’t be any!

Meat Stuffed Marrows/Zucchinis (Dolma)
This recipe is basically based on the idea of stuffing your vegetables with your filling, so you can improvise if you wish. In Turkey it is called "Dolma" which means "stuffed". Traditionally we use marrows, peppers, aubergines and beef tomatoes back at home. As a warm dish, the filling is minced beef mixed with a little bit of rice and herbs and seasoning. Serve it with garlic yoghurt.

Spaghetti alla Chitarra with Smoked Juniper Ricotta, Polpa, and Arugula
Spaghetti alla chitarra is one of my favorite pasta shapes as it can hug the sauce and keep it all tight together. My newest discovery is this beautiful juniper smoked ricotta from Italy, a small production with big flavor. I use Mutti Finely Chopped Tomatoes, or Polpa, because it retains all the freshness of freshly picked fruit when it's canned in Italy and is easy to get at the store. Then I top with some fresh arugula from the rooftop farm close to my restaurant! This recipe calls for Colatura di Alici, which is an Italian fermented anchovy sauce (much like Southeast Asian fish sauce) that is available online and in specialty stores.

A Truly Italian Recipe: Spaghetti with Peperoni Cruschi and Breadcrumbs
Peperoni Cruschi, or Peperoni di Senise, come from the Basilicata (Italy), the Region they represent. The Peperoni di Senise are sun dried in the late summer and then fried to become Cruschi (which means crunchy). When they are fried, they are very good as a ready-to-eat snack, but also good to add a strong flavour to many dishes, as in the following recipe: Spaghetti with Peperoni Cruschi and Breadcrumbs.

This is a quick and easy Anchovy Cream Sauce recipe. I love using anchovies to add depth and flavor to dishes, especially sauces. I like the taste and texture.
Tomato sauce with onion + butter + and then some
Marcella Hazan's tomato sauce is nearly flawless. However, I wanted to see if I could make it *even* easier (no time to import tomatoes from Italy? Weird) and a little more green (who wants to remove that delicious, caramelized onion?). So, we added a couple more ingredients (all pantry staples) but preserved the beauty, simplicity, and magic of Marcella's recipe.
Tomato, shallot, and olive oil sauce
This recipe is a vegan friendly riff on the famous “Marcella Hazan tomato, onion, and butter sauce” recipe. I was wondering if the olive oil would be a good alternative for butter. Also I exchanged onion for shallot, added basil, and cooked a few garlic cloves in the oil, hey if you are messing with perfection you may as well go hard in the paint! The result was a rich, silky, pasta sauce that I would serve to guests. The olive oil is very apparent in the flavor, which I love, the better the oil the better the sauce.
Spicy Buttery Tomato Sauce
Adapted from Marcella Hazan’s Tomato Sauce with Onion and Butter. Love the original recipe, and wanted to try a spicier version so added garlic, chopped the onion, and added some pepper flakes. Will make it again!

Sun dried tomato and chickpea pasta
This is what I make when I have nothing in the refrigerator and/or don't have time to chop and dice. It is my failsafe and it's so satisfying and is also very inexpensive. If I happen to have asparagus on hand I always throw that is as well but in an effort to keep it as basic and pantry-friendly as possible, I have stuck with chickpeas and sun dried tomatoes and dried herbs and spices.
