	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
	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
	Minestrone Romagna Style by John Spottiswood This is the way minestrone is made in Romagna. It's not a lot of prep time, but you simmer the soup for a long time until all of the vegetable flavors mellow into one mild but delicious soup. The subtle flavors of this soup are even more delicious the next day, so it is a good dish to prepare in advance of guests arriving for a…	14 votes 7 reviews 2 comments 21619 views
	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
	Grilled Eggplant Parmesan by Mihir Shah Wonderful and lighter alternative to baked eggplant Parmesan and wonderful for summer or fall nights. I use canned pasta sauce (basil if you have it).	7 votes 2 reviews 1 comment 17012 views
	Parmigiana di melanzane (Eggplant Parmesan) by Frank Fariello Being 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…	6 votes 3 reviews 1 comment 12729 views
	Chilled Italian Zucchini Appetizer by John Spottiswood This is a fantastic recipe that I adapted from Marcella Hazen. She recommends serving this at room temperature, but I've had a similar broccoli appetizer at a great local Italian restaurant and they chill it, so I thought I would too. I think it would be great either way. If it's hot out, and a chilled appetizer would be nice, then…	6 votes 2 reviews 4450 views
	Roman-Style Spinach by John Spottiswood This is a great new way I've learned to cook spinach. I wouldn't have thought of adding sweetness to spinach, but I really like the way the currants and pine nuts contrast with the slight bitterness of fresh spinach. This is a new winner that I'll be cooking frequently in the future!	5 votes 1 review 2 comments 3952 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
	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
	Ricotta and Greens or Spinach Pasta by John Spottiswood This is another excellent dish that takes advantage of delicious and healthy greens. This is a Sicilian dish that I absolutely love. Our kids all went back for seconds. It's also quite beautiful...the lousy picture I took does not do it justice. A healthy and yummy treat! This is also adapted from Red White and Greens by Faith…	4 votes 2 reviews 1 comment 2540 views
	Sauteed Spinach with Garlic by John Spottiswood This is a delicious and healthy dish that takes 5 minutes to make and goes with almost anything--asian, mediterranean or american. Barefoot Contessa has a similar recipe but adds butter and extra salt. You don't need that, but can add if you like. Fresh spinach is much better than frozen in this dish.	4 votes 1 review 11265 views
	Gazpacho by Sheryl This is a smooth gazpacho, not the super chunky kind. It is awesome and delicious.	3 votes 6149 views
	Greek Bread Salad by Mary Shaldibina This recipe I found in Cook's County magazine and decided to try for dinner party. This salad has unique Mediterranean taste. I added toasted pita bread right before serving and everyone just loved it!	3 votes 1 comment 4393 views
	Pasta with Eggplant, Tomato, and Red Chili Pepper by Nancy Miyasaki This is a great recipe that I have adapted from the awesome Marcella Hazan. Everyone loves it (even if you don't love eggplant)! Try munching on a couple of the eggplant cubes when they are fresh out of the pan. They put french fries to shame!	3 votes 1 review 3256 views
