	Lemon & Garlic Green Beans by John Spottiswood It is rare to have a side dish which everyone keeps reaching for instead of the main dish. That's especially true if its a fairly simple green vegetable side. But these green beans were truly that good. We used packaged, thin french cut green beans from Trader Joes. They are tender and tasty on their own, but I've never had them taste…	8 votes 5 reviews 1 comment 33840 views
	Brussel Sprouts Sauteed in Garlic & Olive Oil by John Spottiswood This is a simple, tasty side dish to add to your menu. I've adapted it from Marcella Hazan's recipes for other vegetables. It tastes GREAT with Brussel Sprouts. Broccoli is good too.	25 votes 9 reviews 8 comments 63857 views
	Parmigiana di melanzane (Eggplant Parmesan) by Frank Fariello Being a lover of good food, I find it almost impossible to answer the question 'what's your favorite dish?' But if I had to, my answer would probably be eggplant parmesan--parmigiana di melanzane--the way Angelina used to make it. This is a simple dish to make, but it involves several steps. Allow yourself a good two hours to…	6 votes 3 reviews 1 comment 12729 views
	Minestrone Romagna Style by John Spottiswood This is the way minestrone is made in Romagna. It's not a lot of prep time, but you simmer the soup for a long time until all of the vegetable flavors mellow into one mild but delicious soup. The subtle flavors of this soup are even more delicious the next day, so it is a good dish to prepare in advance of guests arriving for a…	14 votes 7 reviews 2 comments 21619 views
	Grilled Eggplant Parmesan by Mihir Shah Wonderful and lighter alternative to baked eggplant Parmesan and wonderful for summer or fall nights. I use canned pasta sauce (basil if you have it).	7 votes 2 reviews 1 comment 17012 views
	Roasted Broccoli by John Spottiswood This roasted broccoli recipe, adapted from the Barefoot Contessa, is really wonderful. It has a lot of flavor. We served it with a mild pasta, and it was just a wonderful combination. Don't be worried by the lemon juice and zest. They impart a subtle flavor that adds a nice dimension to this dish.	25 votes 9 reviews 6 comments 21183 views
	Roasted Asparagus and Parmesan by Nancy Miyasaki This is a simple and delicious Italian recipe adapted from the Barefoot Contessa. We leave out the egg and sometimes the lemon (depends on what you are serving this with).	5 votes 2 reviews 1 comment 11461 views
	Stuffed Eggplant Caponata by Laurie Alves A Wonderful Meatless Dinner Alternative!	2 votes 1 comment 3763 views
	Vegetable Lasagna by Salad Foodie Lasagna laced with garden vegetables and whole wheat noodles makes a healthier pasta alternative to traditional lasagna. Don’t let the list of ingredients and/or chopping daunt you.(I just consider it my afternoon therapy session.) The veggies are cut in small pieces to layer better between noodles. Sub any combo of veggies preferred…	2 votes 1 review 1 comment 13967 views
	Cauliflower Canapés by Denise Romeo Cauliflower is highly under-rated! It is good served hot in casseroles, cold in salad, pickled, or even in soup. The first time my husband made this cauliflower puree, I was skeptical, but now it is one of my very favorite appetizers.	2 votes 2556 views
	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…	4 votes 2 reviews 1 comment 2540 views
	PURPLE AND WHITE EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA--BAKED--NOT FRIED by Cecelia Heer I think that the first time I ever made eggplant parmigiana was in 1979. Back then, it was the "typical pizza parlor" dish with eggplant fried in vegetable oil and then covered with that Polly-O mozzarella cheese "stuff" that was wrapped in plastic and tasted as such, dusted with Parmigiano "cheese" that had the consistency of baby…	1 vote 6117 views
	Chilled Italian Zucchini Appetizer by John Spottiswood This is a fantastic recipe that I adapted from Marcella Hazen. She recommends serving this at room temperature, but I've had a similar broccoli appetizer at a great local Italian restaurant and they chill it, so I thought I would too. I think it would be great either way. If it's hot out, and a chilled appetizer would be nice, then…	6 votes 2 reviews 4450 views
	Minestrone Soup by Michele Grason A great soup with lots of veggies!	1 vote 4319 views
	Braised Fennel with White Wine by La Tavola Marche (farm, inn & cooking school) Fennel is a versatile vegetable that is often looked over for being too tough. Braising is a great way to soften this hearty root vegetable known to aid in digestion. The acidity & fruitiness of the wine compliments the aniseed flavored fennel and with a good drizzle of olive oil it finishes this dish perfectly. Serve with meat!	1 vote 3243 views
