Butternut Squash Risotto
This was an incredibly easy weeknight dinner after a week of long and involved meals. You can also potentially use up holiday leftovers, since I pre-roasted the squash the day before and added the mashed squash right at the end. It still has all the holiday flavors, but it’s great all winter long. Butternut Squash … Continue reading
Stuffed Mushrooms
It’s time for another recipe upgrade. I love making stuffed mushrooms, and they’re so quick on a weeknight. I wrote this recipe a while back, but it needed better pictures. For the nights when I don’t want meat, these fill their place easily. I sometimes change up the ingredients in the stuffing depending on what … Continue reading
Wild Mushroom Crostini
I love mushrooms. Except for shitakes and button mushrooms. More often than not, I pair them with marsala and thyme or rosemary. They just go so well together and give everything a nice meaty, earthy flavor. Occasionally I treat myself to some beautiful varieties at the farmers market, and this week I got some hen … Continue reading
Crab Imperial Dip
After the crab cakes and spicy crab pasta, I wanted to make a version of crab imperial I saw on Saveur. I changed it quite a bit, and it really became more dip than main course. I will definitely be trying something like this again because it’s one of the few dips that doesn’t use … Continue reading
Spicy Pasta with Crab
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, … Continue reading
Lamb Burgers
My burgers are always a big hit and I keep my dad’s secret guarded very closely. I’m not sure if I will post that recipe at some point, but for now, it’s a secret. Sorry! For now, you’ll have to try these delicious lamb burgers. I like lamb because it’s rather lean and flavorful with … Continue reading
Slow Roasted Pork Shoulder and Pork Tacos
I’ve been thinking about slow roasting a pork shoulder for a while now. I’ve always thought it was some big endeavor with an expensive piece of meat, but it turns out I was totally wrong. The meat was very inexpensive and it couldn’t have been easier. A dry rub on the outside, and you put … Continue reading
Shrimp Bisque
While this soup is not necessarily Italian, I think it works very well with all the other flavors. You could substitute marsala or another sweet Italian dessert wine and it would be maybe a little more authentic, but I’m a big fan of the Sherry with the shrimp. I served this in little glasses because … Continue reading
Shrimp alla Buzara
I got the idea for this one from a Lidia Bastianich Feast of the Seven Fishes, and it’s delicious. It was a little unclear if the breadcrumbs are meant to be sprinkled on top or if they are supposed to thicken the sauce, but either way it’ll work. She says it’s from the Northern Adriatic … Continue reading
Linguine and Clams
I make linguine and clams at all times of the year, not just for the Feast of the Seven Fishes. But piled up in a bowl we brought back from Ravello, it really does look like a party. I tend to remove the clams from most of the shells before bringing to the table, just … Continue reading
