Pasta a risotto (Risotto-style Pasta) by Frank FarielloOne of the guilty pleasures that I have never, up to now, revealed to a living soul is my penchant for late-night pasta snacks. But not just any pasta, but pastina of the kind usually used for soups, cooked in just enough liquid (usually a mixture of water and milk) so that by the time the liquid has almost evaporated, the pasta if… |

Braised Chicken Sausage with Red Bell and Peppadew Peppers by Colleen McconnellI tried to make this version of sausage and peppers a little healthy by using chicken sausage (Whole Foods spicy Italian chicken sausage is my go-to). As I was walking through the grocery store, I was trying to think of something to make this dish a little more special and flavorful. That’s how the peppadew peppers ended up in my… |

Elegant Shrimp Scampi Pasta Lightened Up by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy FoxFor a romantic dinner, try this superb shrimp, sauteed in a buttery, garlic and lemon wine sauce. It doesn’t get easier to prepare yet it taste so indulgent. Instead of having to prep the raw shrimp, by deveining and such, I like to use cooked shrimp. It’s so much easier and cooks in minutes!

Warm Octopus w. Potato and Parsley by CarmelitaThis is one of my favourite things year round, served lukewarm in winter or at room temperature in summer. Octopus meat is beautifully tender when properly cooked. It has a very mild sweet-savoury flavour which some compare to chicken and some to squid though neither comparison really stands up in my view. Perhaps crab or scallop… |

Salsicce con broccoletti by Frank FarielloIs there any meat more satisfying than sausages? If there is, I haven't found it. And, in this typically Roman dish, sausages marry particularly well with broccoletti, the cruciferous vegetable known in English as 'broccoli rabe'. The slight bitterness of the broccoletti sets off the savory richness of the sausage perfectly. |

Penne ai funghi (Penne with Mushroom and Tomato Sauce) by Frank FarielloFall is my favorite season, and one of the best reasons to love the Fall is all the wonderful food you get to eat! The sprightly but rather thin dishes of summer give way to more substantial fare: game, soups and stews of all kinds, pumpkin and other squashes, beans, apples, pears and, perhaps best of all, mushrooms! Here's a… |

Pork Loin w/ Roma Tomatoes & Capers by Yvonne Tally, Your Fit GourmetDo not boil the liquid, just simmer lively otherwise the meat will cook too fast and be tough and dry. Using a pork loin rather than tenderloin is less expensive by about $1 per pound. Have you butcher slice it for you in 1/2 – 3/4 inch thick medallions. |

Pennette with Butternut Squash Purée and Sorrento Walnuts by Frank FarielloThis easy and delicious recipe by Neapolitan chef Inghemarck Guida highlights the unique taste of Sorrento walnuts. Of course, if you can't get Sorrento walnuts, this dish will work with 'regular' walnuts--just make sure they are still fresh and flavorful. The original recipe calls for 'zucca' which is Italian for pumpkin. But… |
