Italian Meatballs

Italian Meatballs by Salad Foodie

Years ago I had an Italian neighbor who became a close friend. I always commented on her delicious meatballs and one day she shared the recipe with me. I have made them ever since about the same way. You can vary the meats using what's on hand, but I usually select lean ground beef, turkey, chicken or lamb, with an equal amount of…

Chicken Cordon Bleu - Schnitzel Style!

Chicken Cordon Bleu - Schnitzel Style! by Salad Foodie

I have come fairly close to the 'authentic' versions my memories provide of this delicious main dish. I…

Maltagliati with Tomatoes, Porcini Mushrooms and Shrimp by Fabio Bongianni

Ok, today a very flavorful recipe!! Maltagliati means "badly cut" pasta due to their irregular shape! I love Porcini mushrooms and they are abundant in Europe markets during the Summer and Fall.

EGGPLANT parmesan cheese RED PEPPER loaf

EGGPLANT parmesan cheese RED PEPPER loaf by Foodessa

A superbly turned out rustic vegetable loaf born out of forgetfulness! I had actually forgotten that the original recipe had crushed Italian tomatoes in it. This is where the accident continued to be a blessing in disguise. As I plated the mix...a slight mountain shape was holding its own. I grabbed two spatulas and started…

Calamari (Squid - Cuttlefish) Olive Crimini Tomato Linguini by Foodessa

Melt-in-your-mouth...'calamari’ linguini had produced an incredible culinary experience. Hubby and I would have had another plate if it weren’t for the next elaborate stuffed fillet rolls that were in the oven. The aroma alone had to discipline us into not taking one more fork to these linguini.
