Tomato Marinara with Garlic and Basil

Tomato Marinara with Garlic and Basil by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a light and tasty sauce that the Roman's called "alla carrettiera". It's named for the drivers who came to town with fresh produce and wine from the surrounding countryside, and their sauces were improvised from the abundant ingredients available to them. We've got our own little garden, and all of the ingredients for this…

Ricotta and Greens or Spinach Pasta

Ricotta and Greens or Spinach Pasta by John Spottiswood

This is another excellent dish that takes advantage of delicious and healthy greens. This is a Sicilian dish that I absolutely love. Our kids all went back for seconds. It's also quite beautiful...the lousy picture I took does not do it justice. A healthy and yummy treat! This is also adapted from Red White and Greens by Faith…

Clam Sauce for Spaghetti

Clam Sauce for Spaghetti by Sherwin Faden

This was a favorite growing up. Easy and fast to make. I like this best over Angel Hair pasta. This is not a heavy sauce and is on the healthier side. The cornstarch helps to thicken and keep the sauce on the noodles.

Pasta Paella

Pasta Paella by Nancy Miyasaki

An easy and great tasting recipe. If you like the flavor of paella, you'll love this pasta. I've made this as well as true paella, and I think my family likes this better. Elegant enough to serve with company, but easy and kid friendly enough to have any week night. Give it a shot!

But, let's pretend you can't get the magnificent fresh vegetables and you are forced to scour the shelves of the cupboard, pantry…

Spaghetti alla carbonara

Spaghetti alla carbonara by Frank Fariello

Although my grandmother Angelina never made it--as far as I can recall--as a long-time resident of Rome I have a great fondness for la carbonara, one of the iconic dishes of Roman cooking. Together with bucatini all'amatriciana, you'll find it on just about every menu in town. And it's a popular dish to make at home--it's quick and…
