	Italian Shrimp Scampi by Nancy Miyasaki This is an easy recipe that you can prepare in advance and bake right before dinner. It's truly delicious, if not exactly low fat. Make sure to give it a squeeze of fresh lemon just before serving!	9 votes 4 reviews 1 comment 33147 views
	Classic Cioppino by John Spottiswood This is a traditional Cioppino base recipe for you to play with. Cioppino is a simple and hearty fish stew originally cooked by Italian fisherman on the California coast. Don't worry too much about what sort of fish or shellfish you put in it. Just keep it simple with these basic ingredients. The easier the better...so you'll be…	9 votes 4 reviews 1 comment 20043 views
	Grilled Salmon with Basil Cream Sauce by John Spottiswood Grilled salmon goes very well with lemon and basil. This cream sauce makes an interesting and attractive dish to serve for family or for guests. Our kids went back for more sauce. They love pesto on pizza and pasta, and this has a similar, though milder, flavor.	7 votes 2 reviews 6300 views
	«Polpetielli» affogati (Baby Octopus Braised in Tomato Sauce) by Frank Fariello Octopus is a popular food all around the Mediterranean basin and yet elsewhere it is often, for some reason, 'controversial'. Many people who will happily scarf down fried calamari will shudder at the thought of eating its close cousin, which is too…	5 votes 1 review 9399 views
	Lemon-butter Linguini with Peppery Shirmp by John Spottiswood It always surprises me when black pepper is used in such quantity that it makes a dish truly spicy, since we so often use it as a mild addititve. That's the case with this dish. The black pepper generates a welcome heat which is cut nicely by the lemony pasta. You'll enjoy this one! Adapted from a recipe in Cooking Light.	5 votes 3 reviews 7 comments 9033 views
	Shrimp in Green Garlic Sauce by John Spottiswood Wow, this is a really powerful and delicious dish. If you are looking for subtle flavors, search elsewhere. But if you're in the mood for a garlicky, "must dip my bread in every last bit of that sauce", type of dish, you cannot beat this. I'll admit our kids are not normal, but all four of them downed these shrimp and were dipping…	5 votes 3 reviews 6 comments 8536 views
	Pasta with Cauliflower and Anchovy Sauce by Nancy Miyasaki This is a wonderful, mild flavored pasta we've adapted from Marcella Hazan. I know it sounds like an odd combination of ingredients, but you should definitely try it. It's unlike any pasta you have likely eaten before, and it is quite tasty. We will definitely make it again. Serve with the roasted broccoli below for a nice…	5 votes 3 reviews 5673 views
	Filetti di pesce all'acqua pazza by Frank Fariello Acqua pazza, or 'crazy water' is the humorous term for an extremely easy, but tasty way to poach fish--or, more specifically, to the poaching liquid.	4 votes 2 reviews 10574 views
	Conchiglioni al Forno by Carmelita You can fill pasta shells with practically anything, so having a free hand I decided on something light: a "trito" or chopped mixture, of fish and vegetables. You can see my base ingredients, enough for 4 for a light lunch or for 2 greedy people, in the second picture in the gallery. I used:	4 votes 2 reviews 1 comment 9085 views
	Garlic & Lemon Butter Shrimp by Nancy Miyasaki This recipe for pan searing shrimp is one of my favorites. I adapted it from a Cooks Illustrated recipe. It is full of flavor and the shrimp will come out brown and slightly caramelized if you pan sear them as described. We tried two different recipes the same night and compared side by side. This was the consensus, but not…	4 votes 2 reviews 19324 views
	Baccala' e ceci by Frank Fariello Everyone knows that Friday is fish day for Catholics (even for some lapsed Catholics like myself). A traditional Friday dish in Rome is baccala' e ceci, salted cod fish with chick peas. (I love fried baccala', and there was a well-known place on via dei Giubbonari, close to our apartment, called Filetti di Baccala' that I loved to go…	3 votes 2 reviews 3133 views
	Insalata di riso (Summer Rice Salad) by Frank Fariello Mid-August, when the temperatures climb to tropical heights, is a time when the enthusiasm of even the most avid cook can begin to wane. Italians often turn to easily prepared dishes that need minimal or no actually cooking. Salads are an obvious choice, and rice salads are a favorite. Not only are they delicious, but they are easy to…	3 votes 3 comments 4381 views
	Baccalà alla vicentina by Frank Fariello Baccalà, or dried salt cod, is a favorite meal around our house, even if it only appears occasionally on the dinner table. One of the most delicious ways to make baccalà has got to be in the style of Vicenza, alla vicentina: slowly braised in milk flavored with a savory soffritto of garlic, onions and anchovies.	3 votes 1 review 2 comments 4823 views
	Tuscan shrimp marinara with chickpea pasta by John Spottiswood This is a great Tuscan recipe adapted from the Flavors of Tuscan cookbook by Maxine Clark. Maxine recommends making fresh chickpea pasta. We use Barilla Plus pasta, which is made with chickpeas just like Maxine recommends. By skipping making your own pasta, this becomes a very easy and healthy dish.	3 votes 24802 views
	Sole Piccata with Spinach by Nancy Miyasaki This tasty piccata recipe can be made with any white fish...sole, flounder, tilapia, etc. It's simple and very fresh tasting. It goes great with my Basmati Rice with Herbs recipe...as the light lemon flavor blends very well with the pungent herbs.	3 votes 2 reviews 7001 views
