Antipasto (Italian appetizers)
The perfect Italian meal is not complete without antipasto to get your appetite going! Or why not make an entire meal of a few of these dishes such as Arancini; Panelle (Chickpea Fritters); Crispeddi cu brocculu (Cauliflower Fritters); or Baked Mashed Potato Croquettes.
Baked Goods
Is there anything more comforting than the aroma of something baking in your oven? Whether you’re preparing a little something sweet or savory, rolling up your sleeves and sinking your hands in dough is always therapeutic!
Pasta Recipes
While most of us associate pasta with tomato sauce, Italian pasta dishes are so much more varied than you can imagine! If you’re up to the challenge of making your own homemade pasta just like most nonnas do on Sundays, try Potato Gnocchi, or traditional Sicilian maccaruna. But if you’re looking for a simple weeknight pasta dish that can be prepared in 30 minutes I would recommend Sicilian Pasta with Cauliflower; Pasta alla Norma; or Pasta ca’ muddica.
