	Sicilian Eggplant & Ricotta Pasta by John Spottiswood This is yet another wonderful Italian recipe that I've adapted from Marcella Hazan's classic "Essentials of Italian Cooking". This one is good enough that my wife put a little smily face in the upper corner of the recipe and wrote "It's a keeper!". I think you'll feel the same way. We served this for friends with a wonderful citrus…	12 votes 9 reviews 4 comments 10587 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!

	Bread Soup by Judy Rodgers Here is an easy-to-remember recipe for delicious, hearty Tuscan-style bread and vegetable soup. It calls for equal amounts of each vegetable, and then you build the soup starting with the firmest vegetables, finishing with the tenderest ones. You can certainly adjust, or estimate, the amounts of any or all ingredients, but if you’ve…	1 vote 6090 views
	Orange perfumed risotto by Alida A very straightforward dish. A light risotto with a delicate aroma of orange. You will use the zest as well as the juice so it would be best to use an organic orange.	2 votes 1 comment 1959 views
	Tomato and Red Pepper Soup with Meatballs by Ian Dixon Soup is a great dish for when a meal is needed in a hurry and this Tomato and Red Pepper Soup with Meatballs is no exception. Strictly, I should say meatless balls because the recipe is using a vegetarian alternative. You could easily substitute your choice of meat to use in preparing the meatballs. I'd suggest a different stock if…	1 vote 2463 views
