Pasta a risotto (Risotto-style Pasta)One of the guilty pleasures that I have never, up to now, revealed to a living soul is my penchant for late-night pasta snacks. But not just any pasta, but pastina of the kind usually used for soups, cooked in just enough liquid (usually a mixture of water and milk) so that by the time the liquid has almost evaporated, the pasta if… |

Gnocchi al gorgonzola (Potato gnocchi with Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce)It's Thursday, and the Romans out there will know that Thursdays in Rome (and perhaps in the rest of Italy, I'm not entirely sure…) is gnocchi day: giovedi' gnocchi as the saying goes. Today's offering is gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce. This incredibly… |

Penne ai funghi (Penne with Mushroom and Tomato Sauce)Fall is my favorite season, and one of the best reasons to love the Fall is all the wonderful food you get to eat! The sprightly but rather thin dishes of summer give way to more substantial fare: game, soups and stews of all kinds, pumpkin and other squashes, beans, apples, pears and, perhaps best of all, mushrooms! Here's a… |

Gnocchi ai funghi (Potato Gnocchi with Mushroom Cream Sauce)The Romans out there will know that Thursdays in Rome (and perhaps in the rest of Italy) is gnocchi day.

Angelina's Sunday Sauce (Il ragù della domenica)The constant fixture of Sunday dinners at nonna Angelina's house was il ragù della domenica or 'Sunday sauce'—also known as 'Sunday gravy'—the crowning glory of Italian American cooking. If it was not dressing the pasta, it was slathered in between the layers of the lasagne, with more served in a gravy boat for those who wanted to… |

Brasato al vino rosso (Beef Braised in Red Wine)There's nothing like a good pot roast on a cold winter's day! Though it may come as a surprise to some, Italians also make pot roast, which is known variously as brasato or stracotto, but with a 'continental' twist: the favorite cooking medium for Italian pot roast is red wine. |

Mezzelune al brasato (Half-moon Pasta filled with Braised Beef)Here's a wonderful way to 'recycle' leftover brasato (beef braised in red wine) or other pot roast—as a filling for stuffed pasta. In Piemonte, where this dish originates, the usual pasta to be stuffed with this brasato filling is actually agnolotti… |

Pere al vino rosso (Pears in Red Wine Sauce)Dessert is our house is normally a piece of fruit, perhaps with some cheese, and, in winter, some mixed nuts in their shells. This is why you will not find very many desserts featured on this blog. But there is at least one prepared dessert that makes its way on to our table in the colder months: pere al vino rosso, or pears poached… |
