Braised Chicken Sausage with Red Bell and Peppadew Peppers by Colleen McconnellI tried to make this version of sausage and peppers a little healthy by using chicken sausage (Whole Foods spicy Italian chicken sausage is my go-to). As I was walking through the grocery store, I was trying to think of something to make this dish a little more special and flavorful. That’s how the peppadew peppers ended up in my… |

Mozzarella in carrozza by Frank FarielloWhat could be more primordially satisfying than the combination of bread and cheese? Well, frying them together makes them even more satisfying. And if you add a bit of anchovy to the mix well, you're in heaven! Mozzarella in carrozza, literally "mozzarella cheese in a carriage", is one of the rustic glories of Neapolitan cuisine.… |

Cauliflower Canapés by Denise RomeoCauliflower 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. |

Calamari, Scallops and Lemon Fritto Misto by Joyce LeungThis is a delicious, easy to prepare Italian antipasto. Make sure you serve it hot. Close your eyes and imagine you are in a small Italian restaurant near the beach in southern Italy. This is better than 98% of the calamari you'll ever order in a US restaurant - guaranteed. Yum! |

Parmigiana di melanzane (Eggplant Parmesan) by Frank FarielloBeing 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… |

Conchiglioni al Forno by CarmelitaYou can fill pasta shells with practically anything, so having a free hand I decided on something light: a "trito" or chopped mixture, of fish and vegetables. You can see my base ingredients, enough for 4 for a light lunch or for 2 greedy people, in the second picture in the gallery. I used: |

Pasta Fagolli just like Olive Garden! by Phyllis MunroI enjoy making soup and I'm always excited when I find a good recipe. I stumbled upon this one day and thought I would give it a try. It was very tasty, similar to the Pasta Fagolli they serve at Olive Garden, it was pretty darn close! The great thing about making a good soup is you can eat it for days. I always take my lunch to… |

Three Way Lasagna by CarolinaheartstringsA while back I got this nifty lasagna pan and somehow with all the cooking posts I’ve been preparing I just never did get around to using it. It even came with an equally nifty server. So since my share of Carolina HeartStrings’ recipes this month is Italian, I couldn’t wait to put this to use. But how boring to make the same… |

Basil Dipping Oil by Bob VincentThis is an easy and quick dipping oil. It is a nice dipping oil for freshly baked breads. I did not add salt, pepper or other ingredients that may seem appropriate. The oil is basically pesto sauce without, pine nuts, cheese and garlic. It makes a great base for a tasty bruschetta with tomatos and mozzarella when tomatos are at… |
