Ras-el-hanout Chicken Traybake
Easy Italian Pear Cake
Pear Cake, or Torta di pere, is an Italian classic for seasonal fall and winter baking. The tender citrus-scented cake is topped with honey-sweet pears. It s easy to make, and thanks to the tangy Greek yogurt and fruity olive oil, the cake stays moist and fluffy for several days.
Shrimp Scampi
Shrimp scampi is prepped, cooked, and done in about 10 minutes. It s hard to beat a classic shrimp scampi. Jumbo shrimp are saut ed in the most fragrant garlic butter sauce, and then served in numerous ways (see notes) for a simple yet impressive dinner!
Lasagna
Can I tell you what makes this Italian lasagna recipe so special? It's the easy b chamel sauce (just a fancy name for a white sauce made from flour, butter and milk), that makes it so much tastier and more authentic (at least in Northern Italy), than using ricotta.
Pasta With Artichokes And Olives
This Mediterranean pasta is simple and boasts a lot of flavor thanks to olives and artichokes. Ready in 30 minutes, the pasta is tossed in a cherry tomato sauce cooked with garlic and olive oil, making it creamy and so delicious.
Mediterranean Fish Gratins
hese individual portions of fish in tomato sauce, topped with herby breadcrumbs, freeze beautifully - perfect for no-fuss entertaining
Pan Seared Shrimp With Lemon-Garlic
Pan-seared shrimp with braised greens is a delicious Greek dish that serves as an example of how a handful of simple ingredients can be used to create a hearty, comforting, and healthy shrimp recipe that looks and tastes good enough to serve company, but is fast enough for a busy weeknight dinner.
Minestrone Soup
Minestrone is a thick Italian vegetable soup ideal for using seasonal vegetables and leftovers. In essence, minestrone is more than just a vegetable soup; it showcases the adaptability and resourcefulness of traditional Italian cooking.
Rigatoni Campagnolo Country-Style
The name of the dish refers probably to the traditional ingredients used, which were very common in the countryside of Italy and in particular the south or south/center, such as Campania, Sicily, or even Abruzzo. Those ingredients are fresh fennel sausages, tomato sauce, and bell peppers.
Siciliana Eggplant Caponata
What makes this dish so unique is its agrodolce namely sweet and sour sauce, made by combining white sugar and white wine vinegar. Caponata is a completely vegetarian preparation, and it can be enjoyed both hot and at room temperature.
Black Bean Brownies
These brownies use black beans as the base. Black beans are high in fiber and protein, which promotes better digestion, helps to stabilize blood sugar levels, and can help manage blood pressure. They are also known to promote bone and heart health.
Baked Tomatoes With Cheese
Baked tomatoes with cheese is a delightful appetizer taught to me by my Italian friends, Pins and Mario Santacrosse. This easy and cheesy dish consists of sliced tomatoes topped with mozzarella cheese, resulting in a mouthwatering treat.
