	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
	Pasta with Butter and Parmesan Cheese by John Spottiswood I've been cooking this recipe for so long, and it is so simple, that I have often overlooked posting it. We had it with our grilled chicken this week, and finally I'm putting it online. Marcella Hazan says this method of cooking pasta has eclipsed all others as the favorite amongst Northern Italians. And I must say it's among the…	6 votes 4 reviews 3 comments 7333 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
	Linguine with Fresh Tomatoes by Robyn Savoie Since we can have great tomatoes year around, we can always enjoy their fresh flavor this way. Remember: Never store your fresh tomatoes in the refrigerator, the cold ruins their taste and texture. Keep them right on the counter so they'll be sweeter and juicier.	2 votes 1 review 2 comments 6849 views
	Roasted Eggplant by Evil Fairy This is a dish you can serve as a side,bubbling hot,over pasta or cold with pita bread. You can either leave skin on or peel. You can also do on the stove,only you will need more oil. Eggplant acts as a sponge and will soak up all the oil. You use much less oil when you roast it.	1 vote 5172 views
	Plum tomatoes roasted with fresh basil by Nancy Miyasaki When plum tomatoes are on sale this summer, grab a bagful and make this simple and delicious side dish. It goes great with just about anything you will cook on the grill--steak, lamb, chicken or fish. Or just have it as part of a vegetarian meal. However you serve it, you and your guests will love it!	3 votes 1 review 4018 views
	Risotto Alla Milanese by Jenny Risotto is a typical Italian rice dish cooked in a broth (vegetable, chicken, seafood,etc) to a creamy consistency. It is pretty simple to make and tastes divine! When I tasted this risotto many years ago for the first time I fell in love with it right away. I was surprised by its creamy texture, mesmerized by its colour and amazed…	1 vote 2253 views

	Easy Risotto & Gourmet Mushrooms by Amos Miller Risotto scares too many cooks. It's really a simple dish, though not commonly served at the American dinner table - unless you have some (usually Northern) Italian blood in your family. When done with care, risotto can be a sublime accompaniment to all types of dishes. In fact, you can add all types of things to a risotto to…	2 votes 1 review 5527 views
	Skinny Potato Salad, Caesar Style by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox Here’s a fresh new take on potato salad. If you like potato salad and Caesar salad you are going to love this one! It comes together quickly since I’m using a bottled light Caesar dressing. The skinny for each serving, 104 calories, 2.7 grams of fat and 3 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS.	1 vote 1 comment 4839 views
	Sweet ROASTED TOMATO simplicity by Foodessa I splurged on some cheaply priced Roma TOMATOES and... simply roasted them until they gave me the sweetness I deserve.	2 votes 1 review 2517 views
	Spinach and Ricotta Balls - Gnudis by John Spottiswood I've been looking for tasty ways to cook spinach and wild greens because they are so healthful. This one is fantastic. These are called Gnudis in Florence because they are "nude", e.g. missing the pasta on the outside. These are sort of like a spinach ravioli without the pasta. If that doesn't sound all that flavorful to you, wait…	6 votes 4 reviews 6 comments 6703 views
