Crispy Prosciutto Carbonara
One of the reasons that I love carbonara is the pasta! Bucatini is long, thick pasta with a hole running through the center. The hole allows the pasta to soak up the sauce. Carbonara is traditionally made with guanciale (cured pork) but I like to make it with crispy prosciutto which is easier to find […]
Champagne Saffron Risotto
A fabulous dish – equally comfortable sitting at a fancy dinner or casual supper. Delicious and filling on its own, or paired with grilled shrimp or lobster and a green salad. The saffron and champagne are delicate flavors, so seafood would be my choice to pair this risotto (so the flavor of the fish/meat does […]

Italian Cheese Stuffed Shells
My cheese stuffed jumbo pasta shells have a secret ingredient – Olivelle Pizzaolio Infused Olive Oil. Tastes like pizza in a bottle! Tuscan olive oil with garlic, basil, rosemary, oregano and spicy chilies (for just a hint of spiciness). You know how sometimes pasta with meat sauce can be dry? I solved that problem by […]
Bolognese Sauce over Angel Hair Pasta
My favorite dish to serve on Sunday evening is pasta. Something about simmering tomato sauce on my stove (something like “Sunday Sauce” – a rich, slow-cooked meat-based tomato sauce that a centerpiece of Italian-American Sunday dinners – maybe this comes from me watching too many episodes of The Sopranos?). I am excited to share my […]
Angel Hair Pasta al Limone (creamy lemony angel hair pasta)
Possibly THE BEST pasta dish I have ever made…the perfect entree for a summer supper, side dish with Italian grilled chicken and green salad. And if you have some left over, it is equally as yummy the next day, just top with a pat of butter and heat in the microwave. Sicilian Lemon Olive Oil […]
All American Cheeseburger Sliders – Secret ingredient: sour cream!
This is my VERY favorite cheeseburger slider recipe. Sour cream makes the sliders tender and juicy. The meatloaf and Tajin seasonings give the sliders such a yummy flavor.
