Four Cheese & Sausage Stuffed Manicotti

Four Cheese & Sausage Stuffed Manicotti by Salad Foodie

Cheese-stuffed manicotti personifies comfort food anytime, but take it up a notch with a cheese four-some and Italian sausage and it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. This was inspired by a few pasta manufacturer web site recipes, but I added my own spin here and there and was pleasantly surprised how well they worked. Oh Mama-Mia, this…

Autentica " Pasta alla contadina "

Autentica " Pasta alla contadina " by CHEFMAURIZIO

Recipe of Calabria. We are in southern Italy. A recipe that my mother gave me and that I have taken over the tradition. Calabria is known for its natural beauty, but also for the use of chili peppers, very spicy in the area. This recipe is therefore a little spicy. Warning to those who do not like. The recipe is simple.

Baked Ravioli with Meat Sauce

Baked Ravioli with Meat Sauce by Reeni

This has all the beloved flavors of lasagna but is a lot quicker and easier to make. Using frozen or fresh cheese ravioli is the time saver. And even though the meat sauce needs a bit of time to prepare it's necessary for making this potentially dull dish delectable. And for giving it a bit of home-made flavor.

Galette Dough

Galette Dough by Stephen Lamb

Far from an original recipe, we've Julia Child to thank for this one, with my own commentary integrated into the recipe. A fantastic way to celebrate the berry season, add fruit as you wish. A word of warning, however--especially watery fruits like strawberries present a problem for this dessert. For one possible use, and…

Ricotta Pie

Ricotta Pie by molly11

We took the traditional Italian holiday dessert and brought the health benefits up a notch by adding blueberries. We also think the pie tastes better and looks more inviting. Drain the ricotta cheese if you are buying the cheese prepackaged.

Italian Monkey Bread

Italian Monkey Bread by Patti Fisher

Serious sports fan friends of ours are making pasta for the big game. They’re calling it the “Spaghetti Bowl”. Sorry I couldn’t get the sauce recipe; they say it’s a family secret.
