Antipasto

Antipasto will always be a part of our lives. It makes a great panini, which comes out at every typical Italian wedding around midnight.

Salmoriglio Dressing

Our family grew up with this dressing, as it was used in an abundance of dishes. Salmoriglio is used to marinate and season steaks and veal chops, and also as a nice dressing on salads, antipastos, and paninis.

Artichoke with Roasted Red Peppers Frittata

If you can get your hands on little artichokes, this is another one of those great recipes when they are in season. One of the many benefits of utilizing baby artichokes is that you can eat the choke, unlike large artichokes. Additionally, this is a great way to eat a genuinely fresh vegetable without cooking the life out of it!

Pesto Sauce with Basil and Pine Nuts

This recipe comes in handy when an abundance of basil grows in our garden.

Fresh Tomato Sauce

Gnocchi

Gnocchi With Tomato Sauce

Gnocchi With Pesto Sauce

This is a recipe that my mother never experimented with. These recipes are inspired by my mother-in-law and my husband's aunt. We would spend joyful afternoons putting an assembly line together, where everyone has a task. The process serves as a great activity for a collaborative creation.  Istarted making it myself when I first got married.   The end result is awesomely satisfying, as it is delicious and rewarding.

Tiramisu "My Way"

Tiramisu "My Way!"

You can be sure to find this on our table for special occasions. It even serves as a great get-well gift. I say "my way" because I like to stack it up as a cake, not in a pan.
