	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

It's simply delicious!	17 votes 17 reviews 8 comments 11453 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
	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
	Pasta with Cauliflower, Prosciutto, and Parmesan by Nancy Miyasaki Our whole family enjoyed this flavorful pasta that I cooked tonight. Despite the chicken broth, this is a relatively dry pasta, but it is very flavorful. We added the crushed red peppers at the end because some of our kids can't take the heat, but I thought they added an important dimension. If your rushed for time, you can skip…	3 votes 2 reviews 1 comment 3466 views
	Italian Steak Salad by John Spottiswood We adapted this from a Giada De Laurentis recipe. It's simple, but incredibly delicious. Our kids powered through more than we imagined possible. No leftovers at all! The biggest change was serving the steak hot of the grill instead of chilled. That makes a huge positive difference I think...as the warm steak contrasts wonderfully…	5 votes 2 reviews 3506 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
	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
	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
	Eggplant Parmigiana by Carolinaheartstrings Eggplants that are younger (more glossy) tend to have less seeds and are less bitter. At one time I had believed “gender” played a role in the presence of seeds but research I read recently explained that more seeds are an indication of age, NOT the eggplant being a “female”. Eggplants are self-pollinators and have both male and…	2 votes 1 review 3 comments 4773 views

	Baked Penne with Vegetables by Salad Foodie Reminiscent of lasagna but loaded with veggies, this dish will take center stage at group gatherings. It makes good use of summer's zucchini surplus, so file the recipe away in your stash of squash faves. Don't let the cauliflower put you off - it is so well camouflaged that while many noticed the zucchini, no one detected cauliflower…	1 vote 1 comment 3782 views
