Easter themed Italian savory dish, pizza rustica that look similar to a quiche. A metal spatula is scooping out a slice with a delicious looking cheese pull. Fresh flowers as well as a green kitchen towel are added for styling purposes. Easter Pie, Easter Dishes, Pizza Rustica, Cheese Serving, Deep Dish, A 17, Decadent
This is a celebratory Easter dish from the south of Italy - but it's so good, I encourage you to make it for just about any occasion. It's part quiche, part deep dish pizza, and just completely divine and so decadent.

Carpaccio is a delicacy of thinly-sliced beef - and it's actually named the bright-red color used by Italian painter. This is an incredibly easy dish to make, but it's a sophisticated appetizer that should be savored!

Grey matte plate with black rice flour pasta piled high topped with fresh shaved parmesan cheese. A gold fork is added for styling purposes. Midnight Pasta, Pasta Roller, Black Rice, Fresh Pasta, Rice Flour, How To Cook Pasta
Amazing recipe, adapted from our friend Chef Gianpero! During our visit to the Riso Buono farm in the north Italy, Gianpero showed us ways of incorporating Artemide Black Rice Flour into a multitude of dishes, including pasta. It has a very nutty and toasty flavor, and a firm texture that lends itself to pasta.

Styled photo featuring crab salad served on a white plate with a gold fork. At the top of the photo is the rose wine vinegar product sold at Giadzy that's used in the recipe. To the left of the product, wooden bowl with crab salad. Ceasar Salad, Crunchy Greens, Crab Salad, Easy Weeknight Dinners, How To Dry Oregano, Soup And Salad
In our opinion, a crab salad should be all about the crab! This creamy, satisfying salad is jampacked with crab and accented with crunchy green beans and buttery avocado. It’s perfect for an easy weeknight dinner but equally as impressive for a date night.

Recipes With Diced Tomatoes, Tomato Soup Recipes, Risotto Recipes, Healthy Soup Recipes, Healthy Cooking, Cherry Tomatoes, Tomato Risotto, Creamy Tomato Soup
All of the comfort of a tomato soup, but in the form of a creamy, cheesy risotto. What's not to love? Using canned cherry tomatoes, like Datterini, give the best sweet tomato flavor.

Fregola is a toasted pasta from the island of Sardinia, so it’s only fitting to pair it with something coastal. This dish transports me to the south of Italy with all of the bright seafood-forward dishes – it’s wonderful for spring and summer dinner parties.

This pasta dish is one of the classic pastas of Rome. It’s traditionally made with guanciale, a cured pork product that’s common in Italy, but it’s a bit difficult to find here: so I opt for bacon instead. Feel free to swap out some of the Parmigiano for Pecorino, or even all of it! Giada Pasta Recipe, Carbonara Recipe Authentic, Bacon Carbonara, Carbonara Sauce, Batch Cooking, Kitchens

White plate with red trimming filled with skewers of sun-dried tomato, mozzarella balls and fresh basil. Tomato Appetizers, Great Appetizers, Dried Tomatoes, Sun Dried Tomato, Tomato Caprese, Caprese Skewers, Skewer Recipes
Caprese skewers are a great appetizer, but I like to take it to the next level by using sun-dried tomatoes. They’re so deeply flavorful, and pair perfectly with the bright herbaceous basil and some fresh mozzarella. This appetizer couldn’t be easier to throw together, and everyone always loves it!

What makes my pasta primavera different, is how I prepare the vegetables – by roasting them instead of sautéing them all together! When I have it on hand, I love to use Dario Cecchini’s Tuscan Salt Blend in place of the salt and dried herbs – just season to taste.

A translation of “fruit of the sea,” this seafood-abundant pasta is a classic dish you’ll find in any restaurant in Capri. My version uses homemade chili oil to give it some great heat throughout. Foood Recipes, Shrimp Recipes, Fish Recipes, Yummy Recipes, Great Recipes, Frutti Di Mare Recipe

Acqua Pazza literally translates to “crazy water” in Italian, referring to all of the bold spices and flavors in the sauce! My version isn’t insanely spicy, but it’s full of Italian flavor.

Pan-sear the salmon until it’s golden brown and crispy, and then use the same pan to cook some of my favorite ingredients: artichoke hearts, shallots, sundried tomatoes and baby spinach. It’s so beautiful on the plate! The presentation is absolutely impressive enough to serve when you’re entertaining, but clocking in at 20 minutes to throw it together, it’s a wonderful weeknight dinner as well.

Minestrone is a beloved Italian soup, and one of the most recognizable ones in the US. It’s a thick, hearty stew with vegetables, and often with pasta or rice. In my version, I opt for heartiness from potatoes and cannellini beans! The step of blending up some of the beans with broth gives the soup a delicious, velvety texture.
