Tossing breadcrumbs with pasta might sound odd, but it’s an old Italian trick for those that couldn’t afford Parmigiano—cucina povera. With the briny bite of frazzle capers it’s the perfect speedy supper.
Ingredient: garlic
Italian Sausage & Roasted Fennel Risotto
This is comfort food at its finest: sweet roasted fennel tangling in a savory risotto, studded with slices of Italian sausage. Delicious!
Green Beans alla Trapanese
My take on Pesto Trapanese—the Sicilian pesto of tomatoes, almonds, and anchovy—spooned over tender-crisp green beans. Perfect alternative to green bean casserole for the holidays or as a bright and fresh side for the summer.
Herbed Sicilian Butterflied Turkey
Butterflying a turkey cuts down the cooking time considerably, and it’s a good thing! This herby Sicilian-inspired one is so good. You’re not going to want to wait!
Chickpea & Butternut Squash Stew with Wild Rice Pilaf
A fabulously festive vegan and gluten free option for Thanksgiving and the holiday season that nobody can resist.
