I have been making this recipe for almost 10 years, which says a lot. It’s simple enough that I never have to look it up, and it’s always delicious. You could riff on it and add things like chicken or red pepper flakes or anchovies and it would totally work, but I like to keep [...]

Mozzarella in Carrozza
Posted in Italian, Lunch, Vegetarian, tagged bread, carrozza, cheese, egg, Flour, marinara, mozzarella, recipe, red peppers, tomato on May 26, 2012 | 4 Comments »
Mozzarella in carrozza is basically an Italian grilled cheese, or the Italian version of a croque monsieur without the ham. There are different variations on it, and it doesn’t usually have tomatoes but I like a little freshness in my sandwich. The cheese makes gooey, delicious strings as you bite into it, and the marinara [...]
Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe and Sausage

We immediately recreated orecchiette with broccoli rabe and sausage once we got home, and it was almost like still being in Puglia. I find myself missing it already. The orecchiette from Eataly was actually from Maglie, a town we seemed to keep driving towards, no matter what direction we were going. This is the traditional [...]

Pictures are always a little more difficult on the road, but I tried my best given the lighting….here are the cooking adventures. Puglia is the home of burrata, so of course I had to make some burrata and tomato crostini. I also did some mozzarella and tomato crostini because these little bocconcini were so delicious. [...]
Eating out in Puglia and Rome– Italy Part 1
Posted in Italian, Recipe Round Up, tagged food, Puglia, restaurants, travel, vacation on May 21, 2012 | 6 Comments »
I’m back from Italy, and now it’s time to share the amazing meals we had. After a long day of travel, it’s no wonder I forgot to bring the camera to our first dinner at Alberosole in Bari. You’ll have to take my word for it, it was delicious and we feasted. The next day, [...]
Lentil Meatballs with Lemon Pesto

I have a lot of meatballs on here by now: classic spaghetti and meatballs, tuna meatballs, and chicken meatballs, and I thought it was time for vegetarian meatballs. These were inspired by a couple different recipes I saw across the blogosphere and they disappeared so quickly that I will have to make them again. They’re [...]
Blood Orange and Olive Salad
Posted in Appetizer, Italian, Salad, tagged blood orange, lemon, olive oil, olives, orange, recipe, salad, spinach, vinaigrette on April 10, 2012 | 6 Comments »
I love citrus in my salad, and I’m not really big on salad in other variations. So, that means we eat a lot of citrus vinaigrette. A bright, colorful salad on the side of something delicious and indulgent balances and rounds out the meal. This salad is a sicilian favorite, combining blood oranges and olives. [...]
Caprese Salad
Posted in Appetizer, Italian, Lunch, Salad, Vegetarian, tagged balsamic vinegar, basil, burrata, caprese, Capri, mozzarella, olive oil, recipe, salad, tomato on April 8, 2012 | 19 Comments »
I love tomato season– nothing makes me happier at the store than to find tomatoes that smell like they are just off the vine. It’s a rare thing, but unless you can smell them, you won’t taste much. I’ve been spoiled though, because my dad grew tomatoes and basil at home. They’re always best right [...]
Top 5 Favorite Pastas

I am always a fan of pasta for a quick weeknight dinner, and so it’s not surprising that I already have several blog posts to choose from. I always love pesto and I have a recipe here, but I also loved this avocado pesto because it was a rich, creamy, and different version of the [...]

Posted in Italian, Pasta, Shellfish, tagged basil, cilantro, cippolini, crab, garlic, habanero, jalapeno, Mario Batali, onion, pasta, recipe, shallot, The Chew on March 24, 2012 | 8 Comments »
After the crab cakes a couple days ago, I moved on to a pasta recipe with the crab meat in the fridge. I saw Mario Batali make a version of this on The Chew and everyone was raving about it, so naturally I had to try it. His version included a habanero chili as well, [...]
