Toasted Pfoo Almond Cookies

Crushed Greek tomato and olive oil sauce

Arrabbiata Sauce

Arrabbiata Sauce by Gloria Bass

This easy, versatile sauce is revved up with a jolt of crushed red pepper for extra flavor. Perfect over penne pasta, with shrimp, scallops or Italian sausage, it also makes a great vegetarian main course without the seafood. This sauce freezes and reheats very well. I make and freeze extra batches to have on hand for quick meals.

Chocolate Sauce for Roman Oxtail

Chocolate Sauce for Roman Oxtail by Carmelita

A tomato sauce base is enriched with poached celery and finished with dark chocolate, raisins and pine nuts and a hint of nutmeg. This silky sauce is a subtly bitter sweet finish for Roman Oxtail Stew, its crowning glory. Though I have never tried it, I imagine it could also work well with game dishes.

Ravioli with Peas and Prosciutto by Carmelita

This is a dish we made on a cooking class about a week ago using the first fresh peas of the season. Vibrantly colourful and tasty, the combination of peas and prosciutto is very typical of Bologna, though pureed peas are not.
